简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Thirty-two international academics and researchers contribute 25 chapters examining what has been achieved so far in the area of sustainable development, on which aspects consensus has emerged, and what remaining challenges lie ahead. Coverage includes the fundamentals of what "sustainable development" means and how it is to be achieved; factors to consider in intergenerational equity; intragenerational equity--the distribution of income, environmental burdens, and other relevant factors within the currently existing generation; the relationship between natural resource abundance and economic growth; progress in measuring sustainable development; sustainable development at different scales, such as regions, local districts, economic sectors, and corporations; and the international dimension. For researchers, students, academics, and practitioners. Annotation 漏2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
