Preface The environmental challenges of the modern era cannot be faced with scientific knowledge alone. Additionally, experience of how such knowledge can be communicated and applied, an understanding of the inherent social factors as well as knowledge of the economic causes and effects, are all of equal importance. It is therefore important that practitioners of Environmental and Resource Management (ERM) combine the fields of environmental science, engineering, management and sociology. Environmental and resource managers may be found in all industry sectors, as well as in politics, commerce and academia, thus must be fundamentally transdisciplinary. This volume illustrates the broad range of work currently being performed by practitioners of ERM by presenting a collection of papers written by ERM Alumni from the Brandenburg University of Technology, Cottbus, Germany. The work in this volume, which has been divided into three distinct sections: Energy Efficiency and Innovation; Planning and Decision Making; and Limits to Managing the Environment, demonstrates the wide reaching implementation possibilities of ERM as well as the range of knowledge and experience of it’s practitioners. The need for such a broad expertise in global environmental issues has been demonstrated repeatedly over recent years. Consider for example the damaging disconnect between climate scientists and climate change-denying politicians in the USA or the need to negotiate
