The case studies demonstrate the importance of an interdisciplinary approach, integrating technical and non-technical aspects of the problem. They also introduce a toolbox of analytical techniques useful in the context of realistic technology application. These techniques include energy and mass balances, project financial analysis tools, treatment of external costs and benefits, probabilistic risk assessment, learning curves, regression analysis, and life cycle costing. Each case study presents a description of the relevant technology at a level accessible to anyone familiar with elementary concepts in basic science and engineering. The book is addressed to upper-level undergraduate students in the natural sciences, engineering and the social sciences who are interested in learning about problems of technology application, as well as technology practitioners in industry and government. 606 $aPower resources 606 $aEnvironmental protection 615 0$aPower resources. 615 0$aEnvironmental protection. 676 $a621.042 700 $aDeutch$b John M.$f1938-$01043433 702 $aLester$b Richard K$g(Richard Keith),$f1954- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457189203321 996 $aMaking technology work$92475141 997 $aUNINA
