Taylor & Francis Ltd The Role of Business in Global Sustainability
Book SynopsisDrawing on contributions from more than thirty scholars and experts in the field, this book examines the role of business as an enabler, as an inhibitor, and ultimately as a co-actor in global sustainability transformations expected over the next few decades.The Role of Business in Global Sustainability Transformations employs several theoretical perspectives and provides abundant examples and cases to discuss a variety of emerging concepts, phenomena, and trends shaping business sustainability. Weaving through the chapters, the editors present core tensions and sources of inertia towards transformative change, and acknowledge that envisioning multiple solutions and pathways are possible and desirable. They advocate for the need to align visions, actions and time horizons between policy, society and business in addressing the interlinked socio-ecological challenges that our society currently faces.This book will be an important resource for scholars and profesTrade Review"This book is a little gem! It succeeds in the ambitious task of putting together what businesses, governments, and the civil society could do in tandem – through collaborative but also adversarial action – to forward a systemic transformation toward sustainability, especially within business. The readers are offered a comprehensive understanding of theories of sustainability transformation, particularly as concerns sustainability change within business, coupled with concrete examples from different parts and contexts of the globe. If you seeking for new ideas for how to change businesses toward sustainability in a systemic setting, this is book is a perfect choice."Minna Halme, Professor of Sustainability Management, Aalto University School of Business"As The Role of Business in Global Sustainability Transformations sets out, a green economy based on natural capital, as well as social and human capital, is going to be essential in the global sustainability transformation. The authors delve into the challenges of this and consider some of the potential solutions for business, connecting the jigsaw of activities in an engaging overview of where we find ourselves today."Mark Gough, CEO, Capitals Coalition"Society must find a way to halt the climate and biodiversity crisis if we are to leave a habitable world for future generations. Sustainable business approaches are recognised as being critical for achieving that aim. This extremely timely and important book is essential reading for policy makers, academics and those working in the private sector. It provides an insightful collection of essays critically reflecting on the most prominent business pathways, opportunities and challenges to the sustainability transition."Lyndall Bull, Honorary Research Fellow, University of MelbourneTable of ContentsTable of ContentsPart 1 – Business sustainability today A little chapter on the big picture Robert Kozak, Anne Toppinen, Dalia D’Amato Towards the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals in business strategy and operations Angelina Korsunova and Kaisa Korhonen-Kurki Sustainable business models: state of the art and emerging avenues Romana Rauter, Tomas Santa-Maria, and Josef-Peter Schöggl Part 2 – Framing and managing sustainability Potential of the green economy discourse to advance sustainability in business Maria Fernanda Tomaselli, Kahlil Baker, Michael Barkusky, Noriko Kusumi The circular bioeconomy: company-level strategic perspectives Ari Jantunen and Anni Tuppura Strategies for brand owners and retailers in the circular bioeconomy transition Fabian Schipfer, Gülşah Yilan, Francesca Govoni, Piergiuseppe Morone Servitization and the future of business development – Insights from the forest industry Katja Lähtinen and Liina Häyrinen Part 3 – Governance and policy mechanisms The private sector engagement paradox: the proliferation of finance and market driven sustainability tools alongside the acceleration of environmental degradation Ben Cashore Intact forest landscapes and the FSC: lessons for NGO-business cooperation William Nikolakis and Peter Wood The internet of trees and networked surveillance: a multi-stakeholder effort to protect the resilience of ecosystem Mario Schultz and Peter Seele Part 4 – Business sustainability tomorrow?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Surface Subsidence Engineering Theory and
Book SynopsisUnderground coal mining disturbs both the overburden strata and the immediate floor strata. The subject of surface subsidence deals with the issues associated with the movement of overburden strata, which are the layers from the seam to the surface, where structures and water resources important to human activities are located. Surface Subsidence Engineering provides comprehensive coverage of the major issues associated with surface subsidence. The chapters are written by experts on surface subsidence in the three leading coal producing and consuming countries in the world: Australia, China and the United States. They discuss general features and terminologies, subsidence prediction, subsidence measurement techniques, subsidence impact on water bodies, subsidence damage, mitigation and control, and subsidence on abandoned coal mines. In addition, the final chapter addresses some of the unique features of surface subsidence found in Australian coal mines. The book provides information on coal seams ranging from flat to gently inclined to steep to ultra-steep seams. Written for mining engineers, geotechnical engineers and students of mining engineering, this book covers both theories and practices of surface subsidence. Unlike previous publications, it also deals with the subsidence impact on surface and groundwater bodies, crucial resources that are often neglected by subsidence researchers.Table of Contents1. General Features of Surface Movement Basin; 2. Prediction of Surface Subsidence; 3. Measurement of Surface Subsidence and Surface Structures; 4. Subsidence Impact on Water Systems; 5. Surface Subsidence Damage, Mitigation and Control; 6. Subsidence over Abandoned Mines: US Experience; 7. Surface Subsidence: Australian Experience; Index.

CRC Press Mining Haul Roads
Book SynopsisMining haul roads are a critical component of surface mining infrastructure and the performance of these roads has a direct impact on operational efficiency, costs and safety. A significant proportion of a mineâs cost is associated with material haulage and well-designed and managed roads contribute directly to reductions in cycle times, fuel burn, tyre costs and overall cost per tonne hauled and critically, underpin a safe transport system.The first comprehensive treatise on mining haul road design, construction, operation and management, Mining Haul Roads â Theory and Practice presents an authoritative compendium of worldwide experience and state-of-the-art practices developed and applied over the last 25 years by the three authors, over three continents and many of the worldâs leading surface mining operations. In this book, the authors: Introduce the four design components of an integrated design methodology for mining haul roads â geometric (iTrade ReviewUp to the launch of the book, various aspects of this interesting field were covered in technical publications addressing specific topics. The book now combines all these into one publication that deals comprehensively with the design, operation and maintenance of haul roads in a very practical manner […] and is a must for the design engineer, contractor and mine operator. Dr. Pierre van der Berg Pr Eng, CEO, Jones & Wagener, Civil Engineering, November 2019, p. 35 This is a very valuable, and long overdue, resource […] Across the globe, mining roads are being constructed without a sound technical, research-based, approach proposed by this book. The book could encourage uniformity and standardization of practices in various countries. It has a potential of becoming a valuable resource for improving cost-efficiency, productivity and safety on mining operations across the globe. Damir Vagaja, Principal Consultant, RTSM Consulting, Australia Mining Haul Roads, Theory and Practice is the most forthright, innovative, operational focused guide for haul road design and maintenance, since the advent of haul road design practices outlined by Kaufman and Ault in IC 8758 in 1977, and the guidelines’ review published by Tannant and Regensburg in 2001. It is time to retire all former haul road design guidelines. There is now only one ‘go to’ reference for haul road design. Thompson, Peroni and Visser have delivered what we have been waiting for. This inspirational mechanistic haul road design work of Roger Thompson and Alex Visser of the past 20 years is now enhanced yet further with the addition of simple field evaluative function design and road management considerations; clearly illustrated through well thought out field case studies, that put for the first time a complete haul road ownership picture into context. In focus; chapters 3, 4 and 5 are essential reading, comprehension and application for any surface mining engineer worth their salt! It is no longer acceptable for any surface mining operation owning haul trucks to merely consider life cycle cost analysis of hauler assets, without taking heed to and including the vital knowledge presented here by Thompson, Peroni and Visser. As an active mining engineering consultant, this milestone work now provides a firm foundation for any work that I would be remiss to ignore, in haul road design, operation and maintenance moving forward. This is truly the state-of-the-art do-it-yourself knowledge that mining operations will be expected to adhere to moving forward. The standard of application and the bar for mining operations has been raised to a level beyond expectation.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Hard Rock Mine Reclamation
Book SynopsisHard rock mines have significant effects on the territories where they operate, through both infrastructure construction as well as resource use. Due to their extractive activities, these mines store large quantities of wastes at the surface, which can be both physically and chemically unstable. Reclamation aims to return a mine site to a satisfactory state, meaning that the site should not threaten human health or security, should not generate in the long term any contaminant that could significantly affect the surrounding environment, and should be aesthetically acceptable to communities. This book focuses on the reclamation of waste storage areas, which constitute the main source of pollution during and after mine operations, and especially issues with acid mine drainage and neutral contaminated drainage. Features: Provides fundamental information and describes practical methods to reclaim mine-waste facilities Compares the different methodsTable of ContentsGeneration of Acid Mine Drainage Prediction of Acid Mine Drainage Water, Gas, and Heat Movement in Cover Materials Low Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity Covers Store-and-Release Covers Water Covers Covers with Capillary Barrier Effects Elevated Water Table with Monolayer Covers Insulation Covers Monitoring the Performance of Mine Site Reclamation Passive Treatment of Acid Mine Drainage at the Reclamation Stage Revegetation of Mine Sites Alternative and Innovative Integrated Mine Waste Management Approaches Long-Term Evolution of Reclamation Performance
