This anthology originally published in 1961 is of an unusual kind:
a series of pronouncements on poetry by the great French poets of
the last hundred years, arranged in a way which gives them a
purposeful sequence, and linked by Professor Gibson's explanatory
comment. It thus gave as no other book of the time did an ars
poetica for modern poetry. Though it is in French, it is relevant
to English because to place for instance T. S. Eliot's early work
in a historical perspective, it must be related to the tradition of
French poetry and critical writing. Professor Gibson shows what a
rich tradition it was: there is hardly an important French poet who
was not also deeply concerned with the nature and implications of
his own work and of all poetry as well.
Current and expanding human activities are moving us towards ever
deeper unsustainability. While there is no single, simple means of
reversing the invidious biophysical trends and redirecting the
distribution of benefits, one necessary step is to approach every
new and renewed undertaking as an opportunity to deliver maximum
multiple, mutually reinforcing, fairly distributed and lasting
gains. Finding the best options for enhancing such gains by
comparing alternatives, addressing all the key requirements for
progress towards sustainability and avoiding significant adverse
effects, is the essential purpose of sustainability assessment.
This book addresses the theory and practice of sustainability
assessment applications, drawing from experiences globally in a
variety of sectors and presenting lessons learned. Diverse
international case studies from professionals and academics
demonstrate progress so far in exploring openings, testing
approaches to application and establishing best practice. The book
illustrates means of specifying generic sustainability criteria for
the context of particular applications, reports on the resulting
insights, and examines the barriers and opportunities for further
advances. This book is an important resource for students,
academics and professionals in the areas of Governance,
Environmental Assessment, Planning and Policy Making, Corporate
Social Responsibility and Applied Sustainability.
