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.
This book shows you how to use Swing to add a GUI to your Jython
scripts, with an emphasis on the WebSphere Application Server
wsadmin utility. In fact, we're going to teach you Swing using
Jython, and we're going to do it in a way that, hopefully, that
makes your scripts easier for people to use, more robust, more
understandable, and therefore easier to maintain.
