Introduction and Fundamentals -- Biogeosphere as Environment for Life -- Energy Balance of the Earth -- Global Material Cycles -- Anthropogenic Material and Energy Flows -- Limits for Anthropogenica Material and Energy Flows -- Approaches to Global Development.
The book deals with the global flows of energy and materials, and changes caused by human activities. Based on these facts, the limitations of anthropogenic energy and material flows and the resulting consequences for the development of human societies are discussed. Different scenarios for lifestyle patterns are correlated with the world´s future development of energy supply and climate. The book provides a process engineering approach to the Earth system and global development. It requires basic understanding of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology, and provides an insight into the complex matter for readers ranging from undergraduate students to experts.
