[San Murugesan]

Hello,



I’m pleased to inform that our new book, *Harnessing Green IT: Principles
and Practices <http://bitly.com/17B8NvY> (http://bitly.com/17B8NvY) *has
recently been published by John Wiley and IEEE Computer Society recently.



The new 432-page book examines various ways of making computing and
information systems greener – environmentally sustainable -, as well as
several means of using IT as a tool and an enabler to improve the
environmental sustainability. The book focuses on both greening of IT and
greening by IT – complimentary approaches to attaining environmental
sustainability. In a single volume, it covers several key aspects of green
IT (green technologies, design, standards, maturity models, strategies and
adoption), and presents a clear approach to greening IT encompassing green
use, green disposal, green design, and green manufacturing. It also
illustrates how to strategically apply green IT in practice in several
areas.



The book is suitable as a text for green computing, green IT, green
information system, green business and environmental sustainability
courses. Academics
