Description

Sustainability is a concept that has become increasingly important in recent years, with far-reaching implications for economic growth, technological development, social equity, and environmental quality. In this clear-eyed book, Maurie Cohen explores the history and application of sustainability, tracing its evolution from local land-use practices to national and global institutions.

Cohen examines sustainable development in scientific, technological, social, and political terms, highlighting the challenges and complexities involved in implementing sustainable practices. He shows that while the concept of sustainability remains elusive, it is essential for addressing urgent global issues.

This primer provides a comprehensive introduction to sustainability, making it an accessible and informative read for students from a range of disciplines. By exploring both the established principles and the uncharted territories of sustainability, Cohen offers a nuanced understanding of this critical topic.
