'This book is state-of-the-art. The authors present refreshing ideas about sustainability. It is a challenging approach to the conceptualization, measurement and ranking of sustainable development. This goes far beyond technicalities, discussing political, managerial and spiritual aspects of societal change.'--Jan Pronk, International Institute of Social Studies, The Hague, The Netherlands
