IMPLEMENT SYSTEMS ANALYSIS TOOLS IN SUSTAINABLE ENGINEERING Featuring a multidisciplinary approach; Systems Analysis for Sustainable Engineering: Theory and Applications provides a proven framework for applying systems analysis tools to account for environmental impacts; energy efficiency; cost-effectiveness; socioeconomic implications; and ecosystem health in engineering solutions. This pioneering work addresses the increased levels of sophistication embedded in many complex large-scale infrastructure systems and their interactions with the natural environment. After a detailed overview of sustainable systems engineering; the book covers mathematical theories of systems analysis; environmental resources management; industrial ecology; and sustainable design. Real-world examples highlight the methodologies presented in this authoritative resource. COVERAGE INCLUDES: Structured systems analysis for sustainable design Systems analysis and sustainable management strategies Ecomomic valuation; instruments; and project selection Statistical forecasting models Linear; nonlinear; integer; and dynamic programming models Multicriteria decision analyses System dynamics models and simulation analyses Water resources and quality management Air quality management Solid waste management Soil and groundwater remediation planning Industrial ecology and sustainability Green building and green infrastructure systems Energy resources management and energy systems engineering Land resources management and agricultural sustainability

Like the TWO spelling/grammatical errors on the first page of chapter 1? The completely inaccurate photo descriptions (for instance. in one photo. listing a bay horse as "so-and-so" and then in another photo on the next page. calling a completely different chestnut horse the same name!)? Or how about describing the wrong photos all together?! Dont believe me? Go look. Ill wait.I wont even get into the actual style and organization of the "stories." except to say that I have read 5th grade book reports better written than this book. Saying I was extremely disappointed would be an understatement. How does something so poorly edited even get published?If you like pretty pictures of pretty ponies then buy this book but dont ever try to read it. It will make your brain hurt.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Rename: "Some Nice to Okay Horse Barns"By Dorrie FletcherI bought this book expecting to see pages of luxurious and elegant barns. Instead there are a couple of nice barns but the others are just regular stables. nothing special. With all the grand Haciendas in nearby Mexico. with the fancy stables formerly attached to old family estates. when we have the old Gladstone. etc. it is not too much to expect the book to live up to its title. As it is. I know of at least three of my friends barns that are nicer than some in this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very interesting readBy Diane P.
