This book concentrates on the social aspects of disasters, focusing on the most expensive disaster to date in US history, the Northridge earthquake of 1994. Surveying historical and contemporary facets of life in Southern California, Robert Bolin explains how vulnerability to disaster has been shaped by more than a century of immigration, urbanization, environmental transformations, and economic development. This book also provides a global view of the social effects of other recent disasters in developed and developing countries. An invaluable insight into the field, the volume discusses key considerations of sustainable development and state policy, and suggests ways that vulnerability can be reduced in the future. ]]> http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/parent-9780415178976/Bolin,-Robert-Northridge-Earthquake-.html Fri, 04 Jul 2008 59:07:01 GMT http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/parent-9780415178976/Bolin,-Robert-Northridge-Earthquake-.html

As the construction industry changes the need for the effective incorporation of environmental considerations has become widely accepted. It is now being enforced effectively in many countries. Large numbers of construction managers can find value in adopting quantitative approach to environmental management, and this book outlines an integrative methodology for applying knowledge-based dynamic environmental impact assessment in construction.
Four quantitative methods are presented for the application of the techniques at different construction stages, fitting within a comprehensive framework of dynamic Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). These are a method to quantitatively evaluate and reduce pollution and hazards levels, a method to evaluate the environmental-consciousness of proposed construction plans and select the best one, a method to reduce on-site construction wastes through an incentive reward programme, and a method to promote C&D waste exchange in the local construction industry. Finally, the implementation of the integrative analytical approach is illustrated using an experimental case study.
Contractors should be able to conduct effective, efficient and economical environmental management and achieve their targets in line with governmental laws and regulations, the ISO 14001 environmental management system (EMS), or environmental management standards within their enterprises. Most environmental management tools used at present are qualitative, but potential requirements are quantitative, so this book fills the need. ]]> http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0203030362/Li,-Heng-Environmental-Management-in-Construction-(Adobe-Reader).html Fri, 04 Jul 2008 59:07:01 GMT http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0203030362/Li,-Heng-Environmental-Management-in-Construction-(Adobe-Reader).html

The concept of sustainable development promotes a progress capable of satisfying the necessities of present and future generations; it is assumed that a sustainable management of water is still one of the problems to be solved in this century. This is the starting point of this book. Main political aspects are developed such as the EU Water Framework Directive, the globalization and privatization of fresh water, and the case of the new Australian structure for water regulation. A second part of the book is devoted to practical aspects including the effects of climate change and the implications of water sustainability on agriculture and cities, emphasizing the experience of the Environment Agency in UK. ]]> http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0203024656/--Challenges-of-the-New-Water-Policies-for-the-XXI-Century-(Adobe-Reader).html Fri, 04 Jul 2008 59:07:01 GMT http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0203024656/--Challenges-of-the-New-Water-Policies-for-the-XXI-Century-(Adobe-Reader).html
