Description:
Sustainable Development in Practice: Case Studies for Engineers
and Scientists, Second Edition explores the concept of
sustainable development and its implications for science and
engineering. It looks at how sustainability criteria can be
combined with traditional scientific and engineering considerations
to design and operate industrial systems in a more sustainable
manner. Taking a life cycle approach to addressing economic,
environmental and social issues, the book presents a series of new
practical case studies drawn from a range of sectors, including
mining, energy, food, buildings, transport, waste, and health.
Written in an accessible style, the book opens with a general
introduction to the concept of sustainable development and explores
its practical implications for technical experts. Recognising that
practical application of sustainable development depends on the
context, the second part of the book is devoted to case studies.
The case studies explore scientific and technical aspects alongside
relevant environmental economic and social issues.
The key features of this completely revised and updated second
edition include:
Twelve new chapters, including the case studies on nuclear
energy, biofuels, aviation, buildings, urban transport, food,
sanitation and health.
Six completely revised chapters
Coverage of a wide range of sustainability issues in both
developed and developing countries
Integration of scientific and technical aspects with economic,
environmental and social considerations
Discussion of policy implications

Anker adapters
These Anker adapters honestly saved me. The quality feels very premium and they work perfectly with no disconnecting or recognition issues. I used them to connect USB-C accessories and everything worked instantly and smoothly.
They’re compact, durable, and super convenient to carry around for my content creation setup. The metallic finish also feels much more reliable compared to cheaper adapters I’ve tried before.
Definitely recommend this brand if you want something dependable and high quality for your devices. ✨

Very Well-Made and Works Great!
I have a Macbook Pro, and naturally, these computers don't come with USB ports to connect to. That's why I bought these adapters. I needed some high quality ones that I know will last me for a long time, and given that I own my Anker products, I figured these would be a great purchase.
And they are! These adapters are very well built. There's a bit of heft to them, and they feel very stable when plugged into my computer. There's no noise or distraction coming from them. You just plug it in and that's it. I have never once had any connectivity issues where the adapter, for whatever reason, stops working and I have to unplug it and then plug it back it. No, it works straight from the box and hasn't given me any issues.
These are great adapters because they're built very sturdy, will not cause any connectivity issues, and are nice if you want to use a mouse or connect a USB stick to your Macbook.

Simple Solution for Using USB-A Cables with USB-C Chargers
I used these for the first time last week when I needed to plug a USB-A cable into a newer USB-C charger.
They worked exactly as expected. The connection was solid, and the device powered on without any issues.
I’ve generally had good experiences with Anker products, and these adapters are consistent with that—simple and reliable for what they’re designed to do.
These are useful for bridging older USB-A cables with newer USB-C power sources, especially for basic charging needs.
Build quality feels solid for the size, and they’re small enough to keep with your cables without getting in the way.
Overall: a straightforward and reliable adapter for using USB-A cables with USB-C chargers.

Great product, mic and camera compatible
I bought this to use a webcam with a built-in mic on my Microsoft Windows Surface Pro 8. When I first plugged in the webcam both the camera and the mic were recognized, however the mic was not picking up sound. After double checking the device settings, my privacy settings, the device drivers, and everything else I simply unplugged and replugged the camera in. Then everything worked as I had hoped. Great value for a great product. I trust Anker to reliably protect and provide stability for all of my devices. Simple product, plug and play. Sleek, simple design
