Ecological emergy accounting represents a breakthrough because it allows researchers to integrate man-made capital and natural capital so that human and natural concerns can be addressed using a consistent system of units. This book develops an emergy accounting model that is suitable for describing urban systems, thereby providing a comprehensive picture of those systems. To make the theory concrete, the authors use China’s Macao Special Administrative Region as a case study, and compare the results for Macao with those of other urban ecosystems around the world in the fields of ecological economy, tourism, waste treatment, gambling industry, land reclamation and resource consumption etc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Kampeng Lei\u003c\/b\u003e is an advisory senior technician at the Environmental Protection Bureau, Government of Macao, China; \u003cb\u003eShaoqi Zhou\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor at the College of Environment and Energy, the South China University of Technology, and the Guizhou Academy of Sciences, China; \u003cb\u003eZhishi Wang\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor at the Faculty of Science and Technology, the University of Macau, China.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-09-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783662510902\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-45170-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 196\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49473823047820,"sku":"9783662510902","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783662510902.jpg?v=1777992491","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783662510902","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
