Eco-friendliness is key, and this includes waste reduction, sustainable development, furthering renewables, nature and biomimicry, and coral reef restoration. This book stands as a latest update on these fronts in beautifying tomorrow.

David S.-K. Ting studied combustion and turbulence, followed by convection heat transfer and fluid-structure interactions, prior to joining the University of Windsor, Canada. He is the founder of the Turbulence and Energy Laboratory and a professor in the Department of Mechanical, Automotive and Materials Engineering. Prof. Ting supervises students on a wide range of research topics, including energy conservation and renewable energy. He has co-supervised more than 90 research and graduate students, co-authored more than 170 journal papers, authored 5 textbooks, and co-edited 25 volumes.

Jacqueline A. Stagner is the Undergraduate Programs Coordinator in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Windsor and an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Mechanical, Automotive and Materials Engineering.
