Sustainable development is capturing the attention of planners,
politicians and business leaders. Within the academic sphere its
study is increasingly breaching disciplinary boundaries to become a
focus of attention for natural and social scientists alike. But in
studying such a key concept, it is vital that there is a clear
definition of what it means, how it is applied on the ground, and
the influence it exerts upon people's perceptions of change in the
physical environment, economic activity and society. Exploring
Sustainable Development is a major new text which provides a
multifaceted introduction to key areas of study in this field,
examining sustainability at the full range of spatial scales from
the local to the global. Building on existing theory it
demonstrates the unique contributions that thinking geographically
about space, place and human-environment relationships can bring to
the analysis of sustainable development. This book explores
different interpretations of sustainable development in both theory
and practice, in developed and developing countries, and in rural
and urban areas. It pays particular attention to the local,
national and international politics of implementation, the future
of climate and energy, the role of business, and different
conceptions of agricultural sustainability. This wide-ranging text
is ideal for undergraduates and postgraduates in geography,
environmental science, development studies, and related social and
political sciences.

Environmental Informatics (or Enviromatics) is a maturing subject
with interdisciplinary roots in computer science, environmental
planning, ecology, economics and other related areas. Its
practitioners must be prepared to work with many diverse
professional groups. It forms the foundation for computer-assisted
environmental protection. This book contains an edited version of
papers presented at the 3rd International Symposium on
Environmental Software Systems (ISESS '99), which was held at the
University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand, from August 30 to
September 2, 1999, and was sponsored by the International
Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). The text is divided
into six sections: * Enviromatics - Introduction; * Environmental
Issues; * Environmental Information Systems - Tools and Techniques;
* Environmental Information Systems - Implementations; *
Environmental Decision Support Systems; * Specialised Topics. This
state-of-the-art volume will be essential reading for computer
scientists and engineers, ecologists, and environmental planners
and managers.
