Author of Emergy Nomenclature
In various, sometimes difficult to obtain, publications Scienceman claimed to be the author of the emergy nomenclature. For example Scienceman began a letter to the editor of the Ecological Engineering journal (1997, p. 209):
| “ | I write as the author of the nomenclature 'emergy, empower, emdollar, embit, energy memory and the maximum empower principle'... | ” |
Writing in response to this letter H.T. Odum (1997, p. 215) wrote:
| “ | As a visiting scholar from Australia to the Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences at the University of Florida, Dr Scienceman contributed in major ways to the concepts and application of emergy evaluation off and on over a 10 year period. ... As a library scholar without equal, David researched the basis for scientific nomenclature and linguistic roots. | ” |
