The Jevons Paradox and the Myth of Resource Efficiency Improvements
ISBN: 9781844074624 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. ?The Jevons Paradox?, which was first expressed in 1865 by William Stanley Jevons in relation to use of coal, states that an increase in efficiency in using a resource leads to increased use of that resource rather than to a reduction. This has subsequently been proved to apply not just to fossil fuels, but other resource use scenarios.

The increase in efficiency increased production and worsened hunger because of the resulting increase...
