A Survey of Sustainable Development addresses that problem by bringing together in a single volume the most important works on sustainable human and economic development. It offers a broad overview of the subject, and gives readers a quick and thorough guide to this highly diffuse topic. The volume offers ten sections on topics including:
-- economic and social dimensions of sustainable development
-- the North/South balance
-- population and the demographic transition
-- agriculture and renewable resources
-- energy and materials use
-- globalization and corporate responsibility
-- local and national strategies
Each section is introduced with an essay by one of the volume editors that provides an overview of the subject and a summary of the mainstream literature, followed by two- to three-page abstracts of the most important articles or book chapters on the topic.
