The concept of the bioregion developed and popularised within the disciplines of earth sciences, biosciences and planning may facilitate the reconceptualisation of the global economy as a system of...

Business has recently woken up to the need to address environmental sustainability in a meaningful way.

The standard methods of "switch it off" stickers, awareness presentations and proclamations from the top have proved incapable of delivering the shift in attitudes required. Green Jujitsu is a completely different way of looking...

ISBN: 9781909293458 / Angielski / Miękka / 79 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
