Advanced Introduction to Industrial Ecology

Reviews / Votes

'A primer for those of us who want to address the triple planetary crisis and save the world.' -- Lynette Cheah, University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia 'In his book, Kennedy shows how Industrial Ecology can contribute to addressing the three intersecting planetary environmental crises: pollution, climate change, and destruction of biodiversity. He critically reflects on current analyses and suggests the need for integrative systemic approaches combining sufficiency, efficiency, substitution, and circularity.' -- Professor Claudia R. Binder, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland 'Introducing a broad, interdisciplinary, dynamic field such as Industrial Ecology is a challenging task indeed. Christopher Kennedy covers basic concepts and methods of Industrial Ecology and demonstrates how they enrich current debates around the circular economy, climate change and biodiversity. Admirably accessible, comprehensive and up to date, this is a hugely useful resource for teachers, researchers, practitioners, and many others.' -- Helmut Haberl, Institute of Social Ecology, BOKU University, Austria 'A primer for those of us who want to address the triple planetary crisis and save the world.' -- Lynette Cheah, University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia 'In his book, Kennedy shows how Industrial Ecology can contribute to addressing the three intersecting planetary environmental crises: pollution, climate change, and destruction of biodiversity.
