Reviews

'... the editors and authors have put together a provocative volume that challenges us with the reality of how much intellectual effort is still required if we are to reconstruct our material and conceptual models for innovation.' -- Jody A. Roberts, Science and Public Policy 'This is an especially timely book. Carefully organized and well motivated, its power lies in the explicit effort to ask how industrial ecology and innovation studies do, can and should intersect.' -- Reid Lifset, Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and editor, Journal of Industrial Ecology
