1.5. Green Lecture Book Series
All lectures that are part of the Green Asia Program are conducted in English, and materials forthe classes are gathered and prepared independently by each professor as reference material. We
have decided to turn these English reference materials into a textbook series that will be published.
Plans are in place to publish one to two books per year. In 2014, the Green Asia Lecture Book SeriesPart 1 Mathematical Analysis of Environmental Systems (Prof. Jun Tanimoto) was published bySpringer Publishing (Figure 4-4). We plan to issue, through Springer Publishing, English edition
textbooks on Micrometeorology, Fundamentals for Fluid Dynamics, Thermal-relating Engine
Technique, and Heat and Mass Transfer.
