Free Download Sustainable Additive Technologies and Innovative Manufacturing Techniques
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031736567 | 108 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 76 MB
This book offers a unique vantage point on converting ideas into products using additive manufacturing. Intended for novice and beginner designers, the process of industrial design is explained in order to translate verbal requirements into design constraints with the aid of the House of Quality approach. The product is then sketched and ported into a CAD software for modelling. The reader is then guided to the selection of the most appropriate additive manufacturing process, including PLA, resin, or metal 3D printing, along with material combination to meet their requirements. The book puts recyclability at the forefront of material discussion, from energy and circular economy perspectives, as they are central to achieving economic and energy efficiency. This is done by presenting the reader with do-it-yourself projects, which include processes like sand casting and lost PLA/Wax, that can be followed in a step-by-step manner using conventionally available tools.

Free Download Rethinking Sustainable Tourism in Geographical Environments: Theory and Practices
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031721292 | 308 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 39 MB
This book covers the current escalation of social problems related to the unstable political situation, economic crisis, as well as growing problems related to the state of the natural environment (existential climate crisis; pollution of land, oceans, and the atmosphere; severe declines in biodiversity) which requires a new rethinking of the sustainable tourism paradigm, in relation to the realities of the modern world, based on the practices observed in the tourist services sector. „Tourism is like fire, you can cook food on it, you can also burn down your house"―says the proverb. On the one hand, it allows for the regeneration of physical and mental strength of visitors, as well as provides funds for the economic development of the destination, but on the other hand, it contributes to a lot of damage to the geographical environment. The period of "stopping" of tourism during the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic allowed many areas to be relieved of the tourist traffic, which resulted in the observed revitalization of the natural environment, but also huge social and economic problems in destinations that are largely dependent on income from tourism.

Free Download Richard Sanders, "Prospects for Sustainable Development in the Chinese Countryside: The Political Economy of Chinese Ecological Agriculture"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 1138700231 | EPUB | pages: 240 | 0.7 mb
This title was first published in 2000: An examination of the potential for Chinese ecological agriculture providing a basis for sustainable development in the Chinese countryside. Richard Sanders involves primary research in seven villages and four countries in China that have adopted ecological agriculture. He examines the concept of sustainable development generally and analyses China’s political-economic policies towards the countryside since 1949, the impacts on the environment and the state of China’s environmental protection. The study addresses three main questions: 1. Is Chinese ecological agriculture worth adopting – specifically does CEA promise a form of sustainable rural development? 2. To the extent that it does, what are the social, political and economic conditions in the Chinese countryside which most favour its extension? 3. To the extent that these conditions are restrictive, what can the Chinese authorities do to make them less so and thus encourage its extension? The study concludes that the CEA, despite certain difficulties and problems, holds out the prospect of a more sustainable future for the rural economy than more usual forms of activity in the Chinese countryside. It finds that the conditions for adopting CEA are restrictive and that while the Chinese government is in favour of extending CEA it must reconsider questions of land management and ownership and assess long-term needs.
