Foundations of Environmental Sustainability

"What is environmental sustainability, how do we achieve it, and what are the prospects for maintaining it in the future? This book attempts to answer these questions by analyzing the period (roughly from the 1950s to the present) when "the environment" became an issue as important as economic growth or war and peace. Through case studies and in-depth reviews of conservation practices, environmental policy, and forest and range management around the world, the authors provide an assessment of the current state of sustainability and discuss the challenges that lie ahead."--BOOK JACKET.Rockwood, Larry is the author of 'Foundations of Environmental Sustainability', published 2008 under ISBN 9780195309454 and ISBN 0195309456.
