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 studies 606 $aMaterials$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aEngineering design$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aMaterials$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aEngineering design$xEnvironmental aspects. 676 $a620.1/10286 700 $aAshby$b M.
