Description:Authoritative coverage from experts around the world presents the growing body of knowledge about ways to restore the planet. Focused on solutions rather than on environmental problems, this work is ideal for twenty-first century students and professionals working to transform our common future. This interdisciplinary print and online publication weaves together knowledge from the natural, physical, and social sciences, and includes sustainability research of every kind, from ecology to engineering, geophysics to political science, religion to waste management. Because China and India play such a vital role in our global environmental future, Berkshire is working closely with experts in those nations to develop rich original content on international initiatives. The result is a unified, organized, and peer-reviewed resource that relates academic research to real world challenges. Students will find this a definitive, fresh resource while professionals will for the first time have an international access point for every aspect of sustainability and sustainable development.
