Global Sustainability The Impact Of Local Cultures, A New Perspective For Science And Engineering, Economics And Politics

This first book to focus on cultural diversity as a key element of sustainable development in the context of science and engineering provides cross-disciplinary information and assistance in understanding our world in transition. As such, it furnishes the global scientific community and decision makers in governmental and non-governmental institutions as well as in industry with much-need information on how the various factors affecting sustainable development -- including culture -- depend on and interfere with each other. Featuring a contribution by the President of the Club of Rome, HRH Prince El Hassan bin Talal, this is vital reading for all (natural) scientists, engineers, economists, ecologists, environmental organizations, and consultants.Wilderer, Peter A. is the author of 'Global Sustainability The Impact Of Local Cultures, A New Perspective For Science And Engineering, Economics And Politics', published 2004 under ISBN 9783527312368 and ISBN 3527312366.
