Macmillan’s Achieving Sustainability: Visions, Principles and Practices is a reference work intended to meet the needs of students and educators in high schools, community colleges and 4-year colleges as well as the interested layperson. Aimed at readers who are not experts in the field, the material is relevant to courses in natural sciences, social sciences and the humanities; indeed, this title presents and analyzes the underpinnings of the multidisciplinary concept of sustainability. A two-volume encyclopedia containing more than 130 signed entries, Achieving Sustainability covers economic and environmental ideas, as well as governance, demographic and socio-cultural aspects of sustainable development.
