Description:
As a concept, sustainable development is in contrast with traditional development based upon economic growth. Sustainable development is an attempt to formulate a programme that integrates different aspects (ecological, social, and economical) which were usually considered as separate from each other. This book expands the discussion on sustainable development, including ethical, technical/technological, legal and political aspects.
Review Quotes:
"Sustainable Development as a Civilizational Revolution: A Multidisciplinary Approach to the Challenges of the 21st Century is a bold concept...The author suggests creating the vision of the sustainable future, and working backwards to get there. For those interested in different aspects of the sustainable development history and concept, this book would be worthwhile."
