Transition Engineering - Building a Sustainable Future

Transition Engineering: Building a Sustainable Future examines new strategies emerging in response to global climate change, decline in oil supplies, scarcity of key industrial minerals and local environmental constraints. A methodology is presented for shifting from unsustainable activities, presented so that engineers can use it effectively.
