| dc.description | This book is also unique in that the author does not just tell you her opinions on sustainable development. Instead, she provides dozens of pri- mary source documents from treaties to scientific reports to newspaper arti- cles in order to provide a wide variety of perspectives on the issue. It includes not just a wide variety of texts, but, more important, a wide variety of perspectives—from governments to businesses to NGOs. It con- siders not just the opinions of Americans, but also the views of Europeans, Asians, Africans, and others. It examines our collective experience with sus- tainable and unsustainable development through the experiences of key countries, both in developed economies such as Germany and the develop- ing world of China, Nigeria, and India. It looks at the challenges that face these countries in implementing policies that consider sustainability while at the same time seeking to grow their economies and lead their citizens to more prosperous lifestyles. And, of course, it devotes substantial space to the United States, as an understanding of sustainable development around the world requires us to understand what is going on in our homes, schools, communities, and country as a whole. Within the United States, it looks at efforts that the federal government as well as state and local governments have made toward sustainability | - |
