Green Automation : Increasing Sustainability, from Industry to Our Home, Hardcover by Da Silva, Francisco José Gomes, ISBN 103223489X, ISBN-13 9781032234892, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US "The world population has been consistently raising, inducing an increase in the consumption of the most diverse products, which creates enormous pressure on the industry, which has to develop to meet the demand. However, this situation usually leads to more pollution, consumption of natural resources, and is not always accompanied by studies that allow an increase in social sustainability. Automation has been abundantly used to increase the economic component of sustainability, significantly improving the competitiveness of numerous products. However, automation can assume an extremely relevant role in the improvement of sustainability in the environmental and social components. This book intends to highlight mainly these components of sustainability, without forgetting that the economic component has to be maintained or increased. The reduction in the consumption of natural resources, with particular emphasis on energy consumption, is one of the components that can be improved through automation. However, there are many other aspects where automation can lead to the replacement of equipment or processes, and even induce changes in product definition, helping to reduce the environmental impact of industrial processes used in the manufacture of numerous products. Trying to make it even clearer how automation can contribute to improving sustainability in our daily lives, a chapter is also included describing how automation can be used in our homes to optimize the impact of our well-being on the environment, creating a cycle that allows us to realize that our well-being also depends on all of us, and that we can use automation as a valuable tool to that end"--
Book was in excellent new condition as described. Book arrived in great shape. Excellent overall cost. There was a shipping problem however, there were 3 books labeled as shipping together, but 2 separate packages were used and both had same tracking number so first package triggered delivered status on all 3 books even though only 2 arrived, the second package with book 3 came next day. So if you dont get one of your books when it says delivered you might wait a couple days for the 2nd package.
On the hunt for this particular cover art, the seller was very helpful with guidance on how to confirm through an ISBN search with the publisher. That solidified my choice to purchase from this seller. The book was packaged well for shipping and protection during travels. I'm extremely pleased with the pricing coupled with the mint condition of the book and the fast shipping (considering the hinderances caused by the current winter conditions). Great transaction and I will shop with them again!
As pictured / as described. Shipping - I ordered Dec 12 and glanced to see something like "Arrives ... 17th-21st", quickly thinking, "OK - plenty of time for Christmas". When it didn't show up, I went back to find it was actually "January 14th-17th" - oops! my goof! Wasn't expecting 5 week shipping. But ultimately, it did come in on Dec 26th, so quicker than the stated and might have been even quicker if not for holidays. Otherwise, good packing. Quick, easy transaction. Thanks!
