An Introduction to Sustainable Development presents the concept and practice of sustainable development as a process that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This textbook examines the environ-mental, economic, and social dimensions of sustainable development by focusing on changing patterns of consumption, production, and distribution of resources.
This book of topical interest can help us learn better, more sustainable ways of producing, consuming, investing, and otherwise participating in projects and programs in both the developing and the developed worlds.
The Conceptual breadth is impressive. The examples and many graphics are appealing. The authors made a hand-waving topic tangible and nearly hard-core. The book looks downright useful.
— PROF. RICHARD FORMAN, Harvard School of Design
The present study is not only exhaustive but goes deep into the details and presents the available scientific data for explaining the different issues using interdisciplinary approaches. It will be extremely useful not only to specialists, especially teachers, but also to other stakeholders who want to act in favour of sustainable development in political fora.
