Description

Sustainability: A History explores the origins and evolution of sustainable practices across various fields in Europe and North America. From the emergence of ideas guiding sustainable forestry in the 17th century to the challenges of the Industrial Revolution, this primer reveals how sustainability has developed over time. The concept of sustainability draws upon social justice, ecological economics, and environmental conservation, yet it is more than the sum of its parts. In this book, Jeremy L. Caradonna examines the historical context that shaped the movement, tracing its development from the 1660s to the latter half of the 20th century. By understanding the conditions that gave sustainability its shape, readers can gain a deeper appreciation for the complexities and nuances of this dynamic philosophy.
