Sommario/riassunto |

Foreword by President Jimmy Carter Throughout the world, and even in the United States, engineers are tackling the challenges of sustainable development and public health—challenges that engineers are uniquely |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
qualified to address. Yet engineers working abroad on development projects often lack the knowledge and information to design, plan, construct, operate, and maintain technology that is culturally, economically, and geographically appropriate—technology that takes into account gender, does not use significant amounts of fossil fuels, accounts for environmental conditions like water scarcity, and uses local construction materials. This readable and fully illustrated guide is a complete handbook for international engineering service projects that involve water supply and treatment, watersheds, sanitation systems, and indoor air quality. It provides the tools necessary to implement the right technology in developing regions around the world. The authors introduce sustainable engineering and explain how environmental engineering fosters public health, with an emphasis on the relationship between community participation and the success of an engineering project. In addition, this book covers topographical surveying, project planning, watershed management, and construction materials and techniques. Specific technical guidance is offered for the design and construction of multiple systems for water supply, water and wastewater treatment, and flood storage and drainage, as well as solid waste management and indoor air quality improvement. This book is a valuable resource for engineering students, faculty, and practitioners involved with programs like Engineers without Borders, Water for People, and Engineers for a Sustainable World, as well as those affiliated with government groups, international agencies, and charitable organizations. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Die Bodenreform gehörte nach 1945 zu den wichtigsten Programmpunkten der Alliierten für eine demokratische Neugestaltung Deutschlands, und nicht allein in der sowjetischen Besatzungszone bildete die Bodenreform ein innenpolitisches Kernproblem. Günter J. Trittel hat für die britische Zone Entwicklung und Ergebnis der Auseinandersetzung zwischen der Besatzungsmacht einerseits und den widerstreitenden deutschen Parteien andererseits untersucht. Er weist nach, dass die gängige These, aufgrund des ökonomisch-politischen Übergewichts der USA sei die britische Besatzungspolitik weitgehend und frühzeitig den Absichten Washingtons gefolgt, jedenfalls für die Bodenreform nicht zutrifft. Obwohl in allen Ländern der britischen Zone bis Mitte 1949 eine Bodenreform gesetzlich geregelt war, wurden die Eigentumsverhältnisse in der Landwirtschaft kaum verändert. Die ursprünglich weitgehenden Reformpläne der Labour-Regierung in London waren damit gescheitert. Die Gründe dafür lagen jedoch nicht in einer Abhängigkeit der britischen Politik von Washington, maßgeblich waren vielmehr die wachsende Rücksichtnahme auf die |

wirtschaftliche Not in der britischen Zone, der Widerstand der deutschen Konservativen und nicht zuletzt der hemmende Einfluss der wenig reformfreudigen Militärregierung. Im Übrigen ergaben sich bemerkenswerte neue Aspekte zur Frühgeschichte der westdeutschen Parteien. Die Bodenreform gehörte nämlich zu den wichtigsten Themen der Jahre 1946/47, an deren Behandlung die Deutschen nicht nur mitwirken wollten, sondern sogar mitwirken sollten, erst beratend, dann bald in halber Selbständigkeit. So waren die Parteien gezwungen, in dieser wichtigen Frage schon früh Stellung zu beziehen und folgenreiche Vorentscheidungen zu treffen. |
