Sustainability Principles and Practice 2nd Edition

Odds are, you didn't choose to buy this book, but you need it for a course. This book discusses the three pillars of sustainability: Society, Environment, and Economics. The book does raise awareness of sustainability, so it gets a checkmark for the society portion. Environment: It is printed on recyclable paper, but also paper is a dead tree's skin that costs money compared to electronic copies. No checkmark here. Economics: This book did cost a good bit of money, no checkmark here. Buy it for the class, enjoy it for the irony.

Great concepts and ideas. It was also a book that was used in one of my graduate course.

I used this text for by undergrad business course on "Innovation for Sustainability."It provides great up-to-date descriptions of the key concepts and findings of sustainability issues, in straightforward and well-researched prose.I only taught 11 of the chapters, those that thought were more relevant for my business students. My students and I learned a lot from the book.There were a couple of minor typos in the text/images, but overall this is a valuable and high-quality text.

This book was the textbook my professor used for the foundations of sustainability class in my fashion studies program. It is a great book for people who wants to learn the basics. Great explanations and covers a lot of information. Highly recommends it.

This book is really good and the first part of it sheds light on today issues and things we need to do to better our planet. How ever as an AG student, I cannot condone not eating meat. Majority of America is module land and is made for grazing. Meaning not a crop growing environment.

A great required read for my sustainability masters class. The book covers a lot of information for anyone new to sustainability theory and basics.

Bought for a college class. Provided very useful and important information but wasn't the most exciting read. More information based which isn't a bad thing if thats what you're going for.

This book was for a class I took at University. The book was necessary reading. Although I do not agree with anthropogenic climate change, I appreciated the ease of reading (especially since it was required). This book goes into detail about sustainable ideas and practices that are in use and could be implemented.
