Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
In this Advanced Introduction, Christopher Kennedy demonstrates how industrial ecology provides a crucial analytical response to the triple planetary crisis of pollution, climate change and the destruction of biodiversity. He presents the fundamental concepts of industrial ecology, including essential phenomena, relationships and systems terminology. The climate crisis is addressed through six high-level strategies for deep decarbonization integrated into a biophysical economic framework, underlining their necessity for creating a low carbon future.
Key Features:
- Investigates global environmental challenges through examination of the physical functioning of society
- Includes studies of anthropogenic element cycles and business models for slowing, closing and narrowing resource loops
- Provides an overview of reducing pollution and waste through a circular economy and the requisite technical challenges
- Summarizes cutting-edge research on protecting biodiversity in the context of global supply chains, food systems, aquatic environments and cities
Analyzing energy and material flows in industrial society with a view to reducing environmental impacts, this Advanced Introduction to Industrial Ecology is a vital read for scholars and students of environmental studies, environmental and industrial economics, engineering, and environmental politics and policy. Policymakers in the field will also benefit from its valuable insights.
