The dynamics of regions and networks in industrial ecosystems

摘要

This book, a companion to the first volume that was reviewed previously (Clegg 2009), has three parts: (1) Concepts and methods (two chapters); (2) Regional dynamics and industrial systems (five chapters); and (3) Evolution of networks in industrial ecology (six chapters). There are 30 contributing authors, including John Ehrenfeld who refers to eco-efficiency as the art of obtaining more value for less impact in his foreword and addresses the problem of complexity, advocating the need to distinguish between the complicated and the complex.
