The first half of the book develops a framework for sustainability thinking. The second half considers application areas and personal and corporate responses to sustainability challenges. Basic facts, figures, and information related to sustainability are presented in a way that should convey to readers a sense of scale for the many sustainability challenges we face. Throughout, the end-of-chapter projects and discussion questions focus on tradeoffs among competing goods and the ethical and social implications of decisions related to sustainability. This book was written for a university seminar course on sustainability but could be used in other small-group discussion settings. It is intended to be easy to read but hard to digest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures.- List of Tables.- Preface.- Acknowledgments.- Introduction.- Planetary Boundaries.- Population.- Affluence.- Resource Intensity of Economic Activity.- Impact of Resources.- Households.- Transportation.- Agriculture.- Land Use.- Collective Action.- Individual Action.- Afterword.- Authors' Biographies.- Index.","brand":"Springer International Publishing AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52085990228311,"sku":"9783031791741","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783031791741.jpg?v=1762211557","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-framework-for-sustainability-thinking-a-student-s-introduction-to-global-sustainability-challenges-9783031791741","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
