Sustainability Science and Technology: An Introduction explains the
root causes of global failures in natural and human systems, as
well as the most readily available technological solutions. The
book dispels risky scientific and technological ideas that further
complicate the current environmental and socioeconomic
predicaments. It also bridges gaps among scientific and
technological fields and systematically translates current findings
for a wide technical and public audience. Written at a level
accessible to all, the story is told one bite-sized chapter at a
time, about the size of a scientific journal article. The chapters
are self-contained, each grappling with a large topic. This
provides more in-depth coverage of a topic than a standard
encyclopedia article and promotes the widest possible dialog around
sustainability issues and their solutions. Case studies from all
continents and all technological development levels expound viable
solutions for each of the planetary systems: water, soils, and
atmosphere. In turn, the wider socioeconomic context of sustainable
science and technology is examined. One of the first books to
address the full scope of sustainability, it sets the stage for
discussion and sustainability re(training) across professional
divides. The editor and contributors take a balanced approach that
is neither too technical nor too focused on any particular field.
They highlight global and regional perspectives and the linkages
between different planetary and human systems. The book helps you
understand the thorny essence of sustainability issues-often
fraught with ethical dilemmas, obsolete technologies, and lifestyle
implications-and how to develop solutions to them.
