The first part of the book covers sustainability science from each related scientific discipline, such as environmental science, engineering, and medicine and economy, highlighting cross disciplinary pathways. The second half of the book offers insights into how each of the green sciences relate to each other and to education on sustainability. This framework is ideal for scientists and researchers in adjacent areas of sustainability.
- Provides broad-scope information to meet the needs of students and researchers needing a holistic overview of the discipline
