Synopsis
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.
