Green Building: An Engineering Approach to Sustainable Construction fills a void in green building which has good textbook options for practitioners, architects, and sustainability experts, but not an engineering focused textbook focused on green building. This new text takes an engineering approach to evaluating green building techniques, systems, and materials. The book examines the built environment from inside out, looking at minimizing environmental impacts while also considering the economics and energy use and efficiency. While not a test-prep book, it will provide the knowledge foundation that will help prepare the students to take the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design accreditation exam.As students are often unclear on the evolving employment prospects in this field, particularly for the engineer, the textbook also features six case studies showing different career pathways for engineers in this arena.

Reliable and Resilient Logistic Systems signposts the risks associated with common logistics systems and provides cutting-edge preventive and rapid response strategies to counter them. Today’s dynamically changing market conditions create an unstable and unpredictable environment for enterprises to operate in, which is not catered to by traditional approaches to logistics planning and organization. In response, this ground-breaking book explains how to create resilient logistic networks that can adapt quickly to changes in operational conditions, thus leading to more reliable supply. Adopting a process orientation, the authors consider a range of issues related to continuous improvement and sidestep the organizational boundaries that can stand in the way of process optimization. Their interdisciplinary approach addresses both technical and management aspects of logistics system performance, thus reflecting the complexity of the challenges targeted.
