Beskrivning
Looking at material flows, industrial and societal metabolism and their implications for the economy, this book provides radical perspectives on how the global economy should use natural resources in intelligent ways that maximise well-being without destroying life-supporting ecosystems.
This is a very readable and informative book ... The book will be extremely useful for post-graduates and policy-makers, offering a series of scenarios and techniques for the developing field of resource policy. ... It is time for educators to ensure that the sustainability theme is included in all subjects, together with discussion of social responsibility. Students need to understand a broad world view; and that it will be their responsibility to guarantee that the impact of these issues is examined at all levels and in every aspect of their jobs. Their generation has to secure real business change based on recognition of the finite nature of our natural resources that is so comprehensively discussed in this book. -- Philippa Collins Greener Management Journal 3.2 (2/2011)
