"An excellent book that presents sustainable development in a comprehensive fashion. Thorough, well researched, and precisely on target, the authors frame the implementation issues very well. A welcomed addition to the literature." --Sylvester Murray, Savannah State University "The wide range of case studies illustrate well the problems and possibilities of applying the principles of sustainable development in our communities." --Barry Allen, Department of Environmental Studies, Rollins College "What I appreciate about it most is its thorough and cross-disciplinary focus on the feasibility for sustainable development. I welcome it as a thorough treatment of the feasibility of sustainable development in the 'real world.'" --Jack Manno, SUNY-Syracuse "A rich source of detailed examples illustrating the successes and failures of sustainable development projects in both developing and developed countries. The book provides a comprehensive framework for assessing the causes of those successes and failures, and thereby a means to anticipate and correct potential pitfalls in future efforts.

Its thorough documentation, lucid prose, and abundant case studies make this book an important resource for students and practitioners alike." --Karina Garbesi, Geography & Environmental Studies, California State University-Hayward es and failures, and thereby a means to anticipate and correct potential pitfalls in future efforts.
