In addition to that I am also upoloading a podcast by Marian Chertow from Yale about IE /IS. It covers an introduction of IE /IS and the origin of how this field has developed in last few decades and what it has to offer. It also covers details about the research that Marian is involved with. It is a useful resource for any of us and for anyone new to the field of industrial ecology.
