1 About This Book 7

where you disagree with certain provisions or where a different approach is more
relevant for the study that you perform, it will still serve as a reference for trans-
parently and efficiently reporting about the method that you have used by speci-
fying the points where you have chosen a different approach.
Whether you aspire to be a practitioner of LCA or a user of LCA information,
the textbook will also serve as a repository of LCA experience with the wealth of
information on the many application areas presented in Part III of the book.
We wish you a fruitful learning with the book and success with your future LCA
activities!
