Principles of Environmental Sciences (Hardcover, 2010 ed.): Jan J. Boersema, Lucas Reijnders Principles of Environmental Sciences (Hardcover, 2010 ed.)
Jan J. Boersema, Lucas Reijnders
R5,802 Discovery Miles 58 020 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

International experts provide a comprehensive picture of the principles, concepts and methods that are applicable to problems originating from the interaction between the living/non-living environment and mankind. Both the analysis of such problems and the way solutions to environmental problems may work in specific societal contexts are addressed. Disciplinary approaches are discussed but there is a focus on multi- and interdisciplinary methods. A large number of practical examples and case studies are presented. There is special emphasis on modelling and integrated assessment. This book is different because it stresses the societal, cultural and historical dimensions of environmental problems. The main objective is to improve the ability to analyse and conceptualise environmental problems in context and to make readers aware of the value and scope of different methods. Ideal as a course text for students, this book will also be of interest to researchers and consultants in the environmental sciences.

Environmentally Improved Production Processes and Products: An Introduction (Hardcover, 1996 ed.): Lucas Reijnders Environmentally Improved Production Processes and Products: An Introduction (Hardcover, 1996 ed.)
Lucas Reijnders
R2,934 Discovery Miles 29 340 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Environmentally Improved Production Processes and Products introduces students at institutes of higher education, company management, civil servants, professional designers and process engineers to the field of environmentally oriented product and process improvement. The book deals with improvements that are integrated into processes and products. It differs from other books currently available in that it covers both production and products. It is also different because both social/economic and technical aspects of the improvement of products and production processes are dealt with, rather than the more usual focus either on technical or on social and/or economic aspects. Another characteristic is the wide range of production processes and products covered, ranging from bakeries to olive growing, from nuclear power plants to glues, from office chairs to breweries, and from television sets to steel plants. Geographical coverage ranges from Sweden to China and from India to Italy and the USA.

Biofuels for Road Transport - A Seed to Wheel Perspective (Hardcover, 2009 ed.): Lucas Reijnders, Mark Huijbregts Biofuels for Road Transport - A Seed to Wheel Perspective (Hardcover, 2009 ed.)
Lucas Reijnders, Mark Huijbregts
R2,971 Discovery Miles 29 710 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"Biofuels for Road Transport: A Seed to Wheel Perspective" provides a review of the history, the current status and perspectives for biofuels used in road transport, across the full 'seed-to-wheel' life cycle of these fuels. Successive chapters cover the history of biofuels; the first- and second-generation liquid fuels and biofuels for powering electric vehicles; fossil fuel replacement, land requirement, greenhouse gas balances and environmental burdens of ethanol, esters derived from fatty acids ('biodiesel'), Fischer-Tropsch diesel and HTU diesel; competing technologies (fossil fuels, increases in energy-efficiency and photovoltaic power) and how they compare to biofuels; and the perspectives for biofuels. Cost, availability, technological development, competition with biomass for food and for soil organic carbon and environmental perspectives are also discussed.
