Notable recent knowledge with strong industrialization potential has been added to this edition, such as: Ecoregional Green Roofs: Theory and Application in the Western USA and Canada by Bruce Dvorak English | EPUB | 2021 | 626 Pages | ISBN : 3030583945 | 119.9 MB This book studies the application of green roofs in ecoregions of the western United States and Canada. While green roofs were intended to sustain local or regional vegetation, this volume describes how green roofs in their modern form are typically planted with a low-diversity mix of sedums from Europe or Asia. The authors demonstrate how in the western USA and Canada many green roofs have been designed with native plants and have been found to thrive. Economic Growth and Development: A Dynamic Dual Economy Approach by Sibabrata Das English | PDF | 2015 | 278 Pages | ISBN : 331914264X | 5.1 MB Growth theory provides a rich and versatile analytical framework through which fundamental questions about economic development can be examined. This book is an introduction to the newer features of growth theory that are particularly useful in examining the issues of economic development. Structural transformation, in which developing countries transition from traditional production in largely rural areas to modern production in largely urban areas, is an important causal force in creating early economic growth, and as such, is made central in this approach.
