Review: Just Sustainabilities

Review by David R. Orvos in October 2003 issue of Ethics in Science and Environmental Politics . Read the full review here.
clipped from www.int-res.com
Few books link scholarly research, theory, and activism in the manner that Just sustainabilities successfully accomplishes. This is indeed a seminal achievement that I highly recommend.
I believe the text should be required reading in any significant sustainable development course as it offers a plethora of possibilities for an instructor using the included case histories to facilitate discussion and research. I was consistently challenged by the diverse views of the authors and appreciated the documented references.
