Synopsis

This transdisciplinary text presents principles of sustainability, develops environmental literacy and expands awareness of sustainable practices that will steer readers toward a lifestyle from which both they and the entire planet will benefit. The book takes students beyond sustainability s traditional triple bottom line of people, profit and planet, to a quadruple paradigm that includes economic, sociocultural, psychological and ecological aspects of sustainability. The book explores the mind-sets that have created today s consumer-based world and exposes environmental and societal global problems as it does so. Readers will be able to understand sustainability from a broad perspective and see how it can improve their lives, resolve environmental problems and improve the condition of the planet.
