No one can argue against wanting a better quality of life--and
"Principles of Sustainable Living: A New Vision for Health,
Happiness, and Prosperity" provides keen insight into how to
achieve that so that individuals, communities, and the environment
all come out winners.
This transdisciplinary text presents principles of
sustainability, develops environmental literacy, and expands
awareness of sustainable practices that will steer readers toward a
lifestyle that they, as well as the entire planet, will benefit
from.
Author Richard Jurin, an expert in sustainable living, has
written numerous publications on sustainable development, business
leadership for sustainability, and related issues. He 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.
This text is supported by its own website, which includes an
instructor guide, test package, study guide, and presentation
package. The book's 36 illustrations and tables are all included in
the presentation package. The text offers
- principles of sustainability that support a range of
university courses in multiple disciplines;
- a systems approach to sustainability that reflects worldwide
views and values;
- case studies, personal reflections, and applications that help
students understand their status and the challenges of the future;
and
- guidelines for developing sustainable living through daily
choices.
The book explores the mind-sets that have created the modern,
consumer-based world we live in, exposing environmental and
societal global problems as it does; lays out new ways of thinking,
championing sustainable thinking as a prerequisite for living a
healthy, happy, vibrant life that benefits the planet; and details
positive options for living a sustainable lifestyle. Readers will
be able to understand sustainability from a broad perspective--how
it can improve their lives, resolve environmental problems, and
improve the condition of the planet for all life.
"Principles of Sustainable Living" points out the problems and
challenges we face individually and as caretakers of our planet and
offers lifestyle approaches that can sustain quality of life long
into the future.
