Recommendation
This unusual book on halting global climate change addresses increased “material efficiency” and the recycling, reuse and extended use of “steel, cement, plastic, paper and aluminum” in industrial production. Engineers – including Cambridge professor Julian Allwood and Cambridge lecturer Jonathan Cullen – worked with their associates to produce this clever, entertaining, wide-ranging treatise on applying common sense to manufacturing and industry to prevent environmental degradation and to attempt to slow global warming. getAbstract recommends their original, implementable solutions to those who employ, make or shape materials and to those who influence these processes, including policy makers, risk managers, standards experts, investors, materials buyers and entrepreneurs.
