Cet ouvrage explore un dossier politico-scientifique aujourd'hui encore méconnu, celui du dépôt des munitions produites durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale par la Suisse et immergées, la paix revenue, par les autorités dans les lacs helvétiques. À une époque où les enjeux écologiques sont primordiaux pour notre avenir collectif planétaire, il s'agit à la fois de comprendre les motivations et raisons de ce choix qui nous parait désormais antiécologique et les enjeux actuels de gestion ou non de ces déchets militaires. Fondé sur une approche interdisciplinaire, ce livre rend compte, dans une double perspective d'historien des sciences et des sciences de la société, à la fois des décisions publiques ayant conduites à l'immersion, des modalités techniques mises en œuvre pour y parvenir, des conditions de production de l'oubli sociétal de ce méfait environnemental, du contexte de la redécouverte de ses dépôts et enfin des débats publics engagés autour d'un risque jugé scientifiquement encore incertain. Sans préjuger des solutions techniques potentielles si les craintes d'un risque potentiel ou avéré pour la santé humaine des riverains et pour les écosystèmes lacustres se confirmaient, ce livre rassemble pour le lecteur passionné　par les questions environnementales toutes les informations et connaissances aujourd'hui en notre possession pour œuvrer activement à l'engagement durable citoyen.

As a leading expert on non-conventional weapons and explosives, the author focuses on the bombs and explosives and shows how the IRA became the most adept and experienced insurgency group the world has ever seen through their bombing expertise and how - after generations of conflict - it all came to an end. The book is a comprehensive account of more than 150 years of Irish republican strategic, tactical, and operational details and analysis covering the IRA's mission, doctrine, targeting, and acquisition of weapons and explosives. Oppenheimer also colourfully presents the story behind the bombs; those who built and deployed them, those who had to deal with and dismantle them, and those who suffered or died from them. He analyses where, how, and why the IRA's bombs were built, targeted and deployed and explores what the IRA was hoping to accomplish in its unrivalled campaign of violence and insurgency through covert acquisition, training, intelligence and counter-intelligence. The book focuses entirely on the IRA's bombing campaign - beginning with the Fenian 'Dynamiters' in the 19th century up to the decommissioning of an arsenal big enough to arm several battalions - which included an entire home-crafted missile system, an unsurpassed range of improvised explosive devices, and enough explosives to blow up several urban centres. The author scrutinises the level of improvisation in what became the hallmark of the Provisional IRA in its pioneering IED timing, delay and disguise technologies. He follows the arms race it carried on with the British Army and security services in a Long War of Mutual Assured Disruption. Oppenheimer fully describes and assesses the impact of the pre-1970s bombing campaigns in Northern Ireland and England to the evolution of strategies and tactics. He also provides an insight into the bombing equipment and guns from the IRA inventory held at Irish Police HQ in Dublin.

Sustainable industrial engineering addresses the sustainability issue from economic, environmental, and social points of view. Its application fields are the whole value chain and lifecycle of products/services, from the development to the end-of-life stages. This book aims to address many of the challenges faced by industrial organizations and supply chains to become more sustainable through reinventing their processes and practices, by continuously incorporating sustainability guidelines and practices in their decisions, such as circular economy, collaboration with suppliers and customers, using information technologies and systems, tracking their products’ life-cycle, using optimization methods to reduce resource use, and to apply new management paradigms to help mitigate many of the wastes that exist across organizations and supply chains. This book will be of interest to the fast-growing body of academics studying and researching sustainability, as well as to industry managers involved in sustainability management.
