Book Description
===================
While politicians, entrepreneurs, and even school children could tell
you that sustainability is an important and nearly universal value,
many of them, and many of us, may struggle to define the term, let
alone trace its history. What is sustainability? Is it always about
the environment? What science do we need to fully grasp what it
requires? What does sustainability mean for business? How can
governments plan for a sustainable future?

This short, accessible book written in the signature question-and-
answer format of the What Everyone Needs to Know series tackles these
and numerous other questions. Sustainability is a porous topic, which
has been adapted and reshaped for developing ecological models,
improving corporate responsibility, setting environmental and land-use
policies, organizing educational curricula, and reimagining the goals
of governance and democracy. Where other treatments of this topic tend
to focus on just one application of sustainability, this primer
encompasses everything from global development and welfare to social
justice and climate change. With chapters that discuss sustainability
in the contexts of profitable businesses, environmental risks,
scientific research, and the day-to-day business of local government,
it gives listeners a deep understanding of one of the most essential
concepts of our time.
