Handbook of Material Flow Analysis

For Environmental, Resource, and Waste Engineers, Second Edition

By: Paul H. Brunner,Helmut Rechberger

In this second edition of a bestseller, authors Paul H. Brunner and Helmut Rechberger guide professional newcomers as well as experienced engineers and scientists towards mastering the art of material flow analysis (MFA) from the very beginning to an advanced state of material balances of complex systems. Handbook of Material Flow Analysis: For Environmental, Resource, and Waste Engineers, Second Edition serves as a concise and reproducible methodology as well as a basis for analysis, assessment and improvement of anthropogenic systems through an approach that is helpfully uniform and standardized. The methodology featured in this book is a vital resource for generating new data, fostering understanding, and increasing knowledge to benefit the growing MFA community working in the fields of industrial ecology, resource management, waste management, and environmental protection. This new second edition takes into account all new developments and readers will profit from a new exploration of STAN software, newly added citations, and thoroughly described case studies that reveal the potential of MFA to solve industrial ecology challenges.

Practical Handbook of Material Flow Analysis

By: Paul H. Brunner,Helmut Rechberger

The first-ever book on this subject establishes a rigid, transparent and useful methodology for investigating the material metabolism of anthropogenic systems. Using Material Flow Analysis (MFA), the main sources, flows, stocks, and emissions of man-made and natural materials can be determined. By demonstrating the application of MFA, this book reveals how resources can be conserved and the environment protected within complex systems. The fourteen case studies presented exemplify the potential for MFA to contribute to sustainable materials management. Exercises throughout the book deepen comprehension and expertise. The authors have had success in applying MFA to various fields, and now promote the use of MFA so that future engineers and planners have a common method for solving resource-oriented problems.

Adventure Unlimited: A Life on the Edge

By: Helmut Linzbichler

Extreme Sport distinguishes the life of Helmut Linzbichler. For decades he’s pursued ultrarunning, mountain climbing, climbing and skiing with a passion. He is the oldest European to stand on top of Everest, climbed all Seven Summits, ran 135 miles through Death Valley in the Badwater Ultramarathon, and 2,600 miles across the USA in the Transamerica run. Exploring his own limits physical as well as mental - is this Austrian’s lifeblood. To what extent is his childhood responsible for his longing for extremes? Was sport just a way for him to be noticed, a replacement for the father’s love he never experienced? Is his adventurous lifestyle more than anything else an escape after the death of his pregnant wife? How did Helmut’s life change as a result of his cancer diagnosis and nearly losing his life on Everest? “Adventure Unlimited” tells of intense passions and of striving toward seemingly unreachable goals. It’s a story of powerful successes, but also of dealing with defeat and calamity. True to the motto “Life is way too short for someday,” Helmut Linzbichler knows from his own experience: It is never too late to live your dreams - no matter how old you are.
