Ingenious Devices and Systems

Landscape managers are required to make decisions
within complex environments. Clearly many of these
decisions demand a reasonable knowledge of many
technologies including power systems, machinery,
post harvest technologies, geographic information
systems, remote sensing and automatic data
acquisition systems that are available to the modern
landscape manager. On the other hand, engineers must
synthesis and apply a vast array of higher order
sciences for the benefit of society and the
environment. This book is not meant to be an
engineering text book, neither is it comprehensive
in its coverage of every aspect of engineering;
however it should provide landscape managers with an
appreciation and brief introduction to the science
and art of environmental engineering, which has
direct application to landscape monitoring and
management.
