The Challenge of Sustainability

"A comprehensive and insightful view of the politics involved in meeting the challenges of sustainability....a valuable text, a fine contribution to the literature on sustainability." Local Economy
“We know: that global sustainability issues are biting; that radical changes are required; that this change is political yet at the same time requires a change in the way we do politics. And that the same pattern applies to education - necessary change towards sustainability can't happen without learning, but requires a sea-change in the way we view and practise education. By bringing the case for both shifts together and explaining their relationship - as this welcome and timely book does so effectively and lucidly - the authors offer a valuable and much needed contribution towards the possibility of a better future.” Professor Stephen Sterling, Centre for Sustainable Futures, Plymouth University
"This book deserves attention given that it covers a such an important concern for future generations. Living with the capacity of this planet's resources needs to be given a major role in social and political behaviour. This book points the way." Professor Jim Chandler, Sheffield Hallam University
"This timely book addresses a crucial political science issue: now that we are aware of the many global sustainability crises, how do we both create and engage a knowledgeable citizenry to democratically and collaboratively resolve both the existing threats and those surely yet to come." Professor Charles Hopkins, UNESCO Chair in Education for Sustainable Development, York University, Canada
