The significance of industrial ecology's geographic context of has
for too long been neglected. This book makes a timely and pivotal
contribution to the field by presenting analysis of an impressive
range of case studies from across the world. Authors are highly
familiar with their case study locations, which are analysed
through a range of theoretical perspectives. International setting
emerges as a significant contextual factor with which industrial
ecology activity is inextricably linked.' - Alfred Posch,
University of Graz, Austria'This book covers updated perspectives
on eco-industrial parks across the world. It is an excellent work
done by researchers from different backgrounds and cultures.
History, barriers, institutional arrangements, policies, waste
management, and greenhouse gas emissions, together with
eco-industrial parks, are all discussed so that decision makers
from different countries can understand the potential benefits of
developing eco-industrial parks by considering their own realities.
Specifically, case studies from both developing and developed
countries are presented so that variations between different
countries can be identified. Readers can enhance their knowledge on
eco-industrial development, a useful tool for responding to
challenges related to current resource depletion, environmental
emissions and climate change issues.' - Geng Yong, Shanghai
Jiaotong University, PR China With its high-level focus on
industrial ecology-related policies such as circular economy and
industrial symbiosis, this book provides a timely analysis of the
industrial ecology experience worldwide. Editors Pauline Deutz,
Donald I. Lyons, and Jun Bi combine their diverse experiences in
both research and teaching to examine the topic as a business,
community, and academic endeavor in different settings worldwide.
International Perspectives on Industrial Ecology provides a
cuttingeedge, in-depth exploration of the commonalities and
differences of industrial ecology experiences, comparing
geographical contexts from each of the world's continents. Expert
contributors utilize case studies and contextualized reviews of
current projects to formulate invaluable insights in the field.
Much attention is given to industrial symbiosis, waste management,
circular economy, sustainable development, and environmental
management as each pertains to the field. This book's international
perspective makes it ideal background reading for academics working
in industrial ecology, as well as a valuable reference for
postgraduates doing research or taking courses in the field. Public
or private sector bodies trying to facilitate industrial symbiosis,
economic development agencies considering industrial symbiosis
projects, and environmental managers and regulators trying to
improve environmental performance in their particular country will
also find it engaging and relevant. Contributors: W. Ashton, L.

Jun'ichiro Tanizaki's In Black and White is a literary murder
mystery in which the lines between fiction and reality are blurred.
The writer Mizuno is working on a story about the perfect murder.
His fictional victim is modeled on an acquaintance, a fellow
writer. When he notices that this man's real name has crept into
his manuscript, he becomes terrified that an actual murder will
take place-and that he will be the main suspect. Mizuno goes to
great lengths to establish an alibi, venturing into the city's
underworld. But he finds himself only more entangled as his
paranoid fantasies, including a mysterious "Shadow Man" out to
entrap him, intrude into real life. A sophisticated psychological
and metafictional mystery, In Black and White is a masterful yet
little-known novel from a great writer at the height of his powers.
The year 1928 was a remarkable one for Tanizaki. He wrote three
exquisite novels, but while two of them-Some Prefer Nettles and
Quicksand-became famous, In Black and White disappeared from view.
All three were serialized in Osaka and Tokyo newspapers and
magazines, but In Black and White was never published as an
independent volume. This translation restores it to its rightful
place among Tanizaki's works and offers a window into the author's
life at a crucial point in his career. A critical afterword
explains the novel's context and importance for Tanizaki and
Japan's literary and cultural scene in the 1920s, connecting
autobiographical elements with the novel's key concerns, including
Tanizaki's critique of Japanese literary culture and fiction
itself.
