Opis

Sustainability Science: Key issues is a comprehensive textbook for undergraduates and postgraudates from any disciplinary background studying the theory and practice of sustainability science. Each chapter takes a critical and reflective stance on a key issue of sustainability from contributors with diverse disciplinary perspectives such as economics, physics, agronomy and ecology. This book equips students with a better understanding of how one might actively design, engage in and guide processes by which collectives and the environment interact, whilst embracing complexity, interdependencies, uncertainties, and contradictions emergingfrom diverse perspectives, values and world views. Each reader of this book thus will have guidance on how to create and/or to engage in similar initiatives or courses in their own context. This is the ideal book for students and researchers engaged in problem and project based learning in sustainability science.
