It explains the ways in which we depend on and use materials and the consequences these have, and it introduces methods for thinking about and designing with materials within the context of minimizing environmental impact. Along with its noted in-depth coverage of material consumption, the material life-cycle, selection strategies, and legislative aspects, the second edition includes new case studiesMaterialsEnvironmental aspectsEngineering designEnvironmental aspectsMaterialsEnvironmental aspects.Engineering designEnvironmental aspects.620.1/10286Ashby M.
