Designed as a coursebook containing material on the principal aspects of sustainable development, this volume provides extensive coverage of food and agriculture, population statistics, urbanization, industrialization, energy and biodiversity, as well as the international aid agencies involved.
Such a huge number of books, journals and papers have been devoted to defining, assessing and implementing ''sustainable development'' that students and other readers face information overload. Earthscan alone has published hundreds of essays and books on the subject. Now, though, the most authoritative writings have been carefully assessed and collected together in the Earthscan Reader in Sustainable Development.The contributions included span five years of the debate, and cover all the principle themes: the history of the concept; the problems in defining it; the issues surrounding it; and national international policies and schemes to implement it. For ease of use, the essays have been split into key subject areas - such as agriculture, population and the commons - and they include practical case studies and examples, together with analyses from a number of different viewpoints from both the North and South.These seminal essays will provide readers with a unique overview of the subject, as well as the long-awaited basic course material for students of environmental studies, economics, geography, politics, planning and the social sciences.
