Sommario/riassunto

This study, originally published in 1983, uses tin to examine how and why substitution takes place. The contributors to this volume raise fundamental questions concerning the techniques for both short- and long-term forecasts of materials requirements in the industrial sector. This title will be of particular interest to students of Environmental Science.
