- Synopsis
- Jeremy Carl (Program on Energy and Sustainable Development, Stanford U.) introduces this volume by noting that whether development is viewed as more or less sustainable depends on how "sustainable development" is defined. Peacock (a generalist writer/ editor) presents a balanced introduction to this pivotal contemporary environmental, political, and social concept. Starting with factors contributing to the devastation of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina, she examines issues of urbanization, over- consumption, and overpopulation from US and global perspectives. Written specifically with high school students in mind, the volume includes source documents, an annotated bibliography, chronology from prehistory to the near future, and a glossary.
