Materials Count
The rising population and industrial growth place increasing strains on a variety of material and energy resources. Understanding how to make the most economically and environmentally efficient use of materials will require an understanding of the flow of materials from the time a material is extracted through processing, manufacturing, use, and its ultimate destination as a waste or reusable resource. Materials Count examines the usefulness of creating and maintaining material flow accounts for developing sound public policy, evaluates the technical basis for material flows analysis, assesses the current state of material flows information, and discusses who should have institutional responsibility for collecting, maintaining, and providing access to additional data for material flow accounts.
Implementing Climate and Global Change Research
The report reviews a draft strategic plan from the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, a program formed in 2002 to coordinate and direct U.S. efforts in climate change and global change research. The U.S. Climate Change Science Program incorporates the decade-old Global Change Research Program and adds a new component -the Climate Change Research Initiative-whose primary goal is to "measurably improve the integration of scientific knowledge, including measures of uncertainty, into effective decision support systems and resources."

Environmental Management Accounting for Cleaner Production
Sustainability requires companies to develop in an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable manner. Corporate sustainable development in turn requires movement towards cleaner production. In order to recognize the potential from cleaner production – reduced costs and fewer environmental impacts through the reduced use of materials – environmental management accounting (EMA) is a necessary information management tool. Environmental Management Accounting for Cleaner Production reveals a set of tools for companies to collect, evaluate and interpret the information they need to estimate their potential to use cleaner production to realize cost savings and to make the best decisions about the available cleaner production options. EMA is therefore the key for driving environmental progress, cost savings, increased competitiveness and corporate sustainability through the means of cleaner production.

Quantitative Eco-nomics
This thought-provoking and colorful book cuts through the fog of vision and advocacy by comparing and applying new quantitative tools of both environmental and ecological economics. Environmental accounts and empirical analyses provide operational concepts and measures of the sustainability of economic performance and growth. The text raises doubts, however, about the measurability of sustainable development. Further reading sections are provided at the end of each chapter.
INTRODUCTION TO ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT
This comprehensive book, now in its fourth edition, brings into fore the fundamental concepts of environment management. The elegantly combined presentation of various aspects of environment, ecosystems, effects of global warming and pollution, and various ways to conserve nature and save environment, with profundity, is a highlight of this text. The fourth edition, while retaining the thorough coverage of the various areas of environment management—ecology, biodiversity, degradation of environment, agro-ecosystem and sustaining agriculture, forest and wildlife, waste management, emerging disciplines in environmental management, environment legislation, ethical aspects of environment—includes the latest developments in the field of environmental management, and recent updates from the conferences and summits. Designed as a textbook for the postgraduate students of management, this book can be equally useful for the undergraduate students of all disciplines for their paper on Environmental Studies.
Gross Domestic Product
What is Gross Domestic Product The term "gross domestic product" (GDP) refers to a monetary measurement that is used to determine the market worth of all of the final products and services that are produced by a country or countries within a certain time period. When attempting to evaluate the state of the economy of a particular nation, the government of that nation most frequently use the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The fact that this measurement is both subjective and complicated means that it is frequently susceptible to revision before it can be regarded a trustworthy indication. How you will benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Gross domestic p...
