Books and Encyclopedias
Encyclopedia of Complexity and Systems Science by ISBN: 3642277373Publication Date: 2020Encyclopedia of Complexity and Systems Science provides an authoritative single source for understanding and applying the concepts of complexity theory together with the tools and measures for analyzing complex systems in all fields of science and engineering.
Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology by ISBN: 1-4939-2493-1Publication Date: 2020The Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology (ESST) addresses the grand challenge for science and engineering today. It provides unprecedented, peer-reviewed coverage of sustainability science and technology with contributions from nearly 1,000 of the world’s leading scientists and engineers, who write on more than 600 separate topics in 42 sections. ESST establishes a foundation for the many sustainability and policy evaluations being performed in institutions worldwide.
Handbook of Sustainable Development Through Green Engineering and Technology by ISBN: 0367650924Publication Date: 2022-09-27Provides an overview of the role engineering plays in climate change and environmental pollution Presents an updated overview of Green Engineering focusing on green technology Innovations Explores energy management strategies Discusses green communication technologies, green computing technologies, green smart buildings, green smart lighting, green smart mobility management, fuel-efficient transportation, paperless offices, energy efficiency measures, waste recycling, etc. Identifies the development of sustainable plans and programs at the urban level within the current legislative framework
Mine Wastes and Water, Ecological Engineering and Metals Extraction by ISBN: 9783030846503Publication Date: 2022-02-04The book reviews past and present mine waste management processes. It estimates global water consumption by major mining resources per annum. This consumption will lead land use resources (agriculture and water) to collide with mining interests expected in the near future. With the application of novel metal extraction processes and the adoption of ecological engineering as an approach to waste and water management, a reduction in water and land consumption can be achieved.
