5.0 out of 5 stars
Difficult issue made simple,
This review is from: Environmental Life Cycle Analysis (Hardcover)
This is the second book by this author in the environmental field. Again he has made a difficult, expensive and unclear subject become extremely easy to understand and implement at a cost that is easy to handle. The steps are easy to follow and the procedures are easy to understand and implement. Lots of charts and visuals. Environmental managers and business executives could learn a lot from this book. The tools provided would also work for other life cycle studies. Consultants should read this and his other book.
