Making the Modern World
Author: Vaclav Smil
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119942535
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
How much further should the affluent world push its material consumption? Does relative dematerialization lead to absolute decline in demand for materials? These and many other questions are discussed and answered in Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization. Over the course of time, the modern world has become dependent on unprecedented flows of materials. Now even the most efficient production processes and the highest practical rates of recycling may not be enough to result in dematerialization rates that would be high enough to negate the rising demand for materials generated by continuing population growth and rising standards of living. This book explores the costs of this dependence and the potential for substantial dematerialization of modern economies. Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization considers the principal materials used throughout history, from wood and stone, through to metals, alloys, plastics and silicon, describing their extraction and production as well as their dominant applications. The evolving productivities of material extraction, processing, synthesis, finishing and distribution, and the energy costs and environmental impact of rising material consumption are examined in detail. The book concludes with an outlook for the future, discussing the prospects for dematerialization and potential constrains on materials. This interdisciplinary text provides useful perspectives for readers with backgrounds including resource economics, environmental studies, energy analysis, mineral geology, industrial organization, manufacturing and material science.

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Since 1991, Anand Sharma and his TBM Consulting Group have helped dozens of companies become manufacturing successes using the revolutionary 3P Kaizen Breakthrough. Now Sharma and Patricia Moody, author of THE TECHNOLOGY MACHINE and THE PURCHASING MACHINE, introduce the concept for the first time in book form. Using three case studies; Maytag, Pella and Mercedes Benz, the authors demonstrate how this technique has led to dramatic manufacturing results. This includes a decrease in average production time and capital investment, an increase in productivity and a reduction in lead time. Filled with cutting edge strategies and information, THE PERFECT ENGINE is the only book managers will need to take their firms to a new level in manufacturing excellence.
