Sustainability: A History

Jeremy L. Caradonna (Get this book)
Caradonna contends that our civilization is at a crossroads: Either we will maintain a business-as-usual approach and face inevitable collapse or adopt the path of sustainability.For the author, sustainability is a broader concept than just conservation. With social justice and human rights as its "social dimension," it covers "a broad range of domains: urbanism, agriculture and ecological design, forestry, fisheries, economics, trade, population, housing and architecture, transportation, business, education, social justice, and soon." Caradonna claims that environmental issues should not be treated separately from political or economic issues. A provocative treatment of an important subject.--Kirkus
