Sommario/riassunto |
|
Environmental issues often span long periods of time, far-flung areas, and labyrinthine layers of complexity. This book investigates how the tools and techniques of information technology (IT) can help people tackle environmental problems at such vast scales. Describes theoretical, technological, and social aspects of a growing interdisciplinary approach to sustainability; offering both a human-centered framework for understanding Green IT systems and specific examples and case studies of Green IT in action. |
