in industrial ecology: the need for an economic and fi nancial system which aligns
economic performance and environmental performance.
The deadline imposed by having this book available at the International Society
for Industrial Ecology’s 2015 conference has meant that some topics we would have
liked to include are not represented. Complex systems are obviously relevant to
industrial ecology, but at least there are many good introductory texts on complex
systems. As will be obvious through some of the chapters of the book (see, e.g.
Chaps. 8 , 9 , 10 and 17 ), the social sciences are increasingly interested in and of
interest to industrial ecology. Some of this work, e.g. Fischer-Kowalski and Haberl
(2007), overlaps with another emerging fi eld – ecological economics – but there is
a growing interest in what the social sciences can contribute to and learn from
industrial ecology. For this we refer the reader to Boons and Howard-Grenville
(2009) and to Baumann et al. (forthcoming).
We hope that new readers and experienced industrial ecologists alike will fi nd
this a useful and interesting volume that takes stock of where industrial ecology has
got to a quarter of a century after Frosch and Gallopoulos fi rst introduced the term
and that also provides insights into the challenges ahead.
