- Rethinking Development
- Sustainability, Nature, and Local Culture
- Nature and Cities
- Globalization, Design, and the Environmental Impacts of Tourism
- Sustainability and Regional Development: The Case of Peru
- Sustainable Cities
- Sustainable Policy-Making
The selected readings discuss models for moving past poverty, dependence, and exploitation, and explore pathways to sustainable development--economic and social growth that respects local and regional culture.
Thoughtful and insightful, Defending the Land of Four Quarters can be used in courses on economic development, Latin American Studies, and sustainability.
