More About This Book

Overview

A comprehensive primer on the history, evolution and future of the movement toward sustainability.

Sustainability' has become a buzzword in the last decade, but its full meaning is complex, emerging from a range of different sectors. In practice, it has become the springboard for millions of individuals throughout the world who are forging the fastest and most profound social transformation of our time the Sustainability Revolution.

The Sustainability Revolution paints a picture of this largely unrecognized phenomenon from the point of view of five major sectors of society:

-- Community (government and international institutions)
-- Commerce (business)
-- Natural Resources (forestry, farming, fisheries, etc.)
-- Ecological Design (architecture, technology)
-- Biosphere (conservation, biodiversity, etc.).

The book analyses sustainability as defined by each of these sectors in terms of the principles, declarations and intentions that have emerged from conferences and publications, and which serve as guidelines for policy decisions and future activities. Common themes are then explored, including:

-- an emphasis on stewardship
-- the need for economic restructuring promoting no waste and equitable distribution
-- an understanding and respect for the principles of nature
-- the restoration of life forms, and
-- an intergenerational perspective on solutions.

Concluding that these themes in turn represent a new set of values that define this profound transformation, The Sustainability Revolution describes innovative sustainable projects and policies improving the lives of people in Colombia, Brazil, India and the Netherlands and examines future trends. The first book of its kind, it will appeal to business and government policy makers, academics, and all interested in sustainability.

Andrés R. Edwards is an educator, author, media designer and environmental systems consultant who has specialized in sustainability topics for the past 15 years. The founder and president of EduTracks, an exhibit design and fabrication firm specializing in green building and sustainability education programs for parks, towns and companies, he lives in Northern California.
