Introduction to Sustainable Development

Writing a textbook on ‘sustainable development’ (SD) especially for the undergraduate students is a formidable challenge. Yet, the author, Martin J. Ossewaarde has made an extremely good beginning and he deserves much appreciation and credit. The challenge lies not only in its multidisciplinary character, but also in intricate interactions among its economic, ecological and social dimensions. With a decade of experience in teaching SD to undergraduate students, Ossewaarde has brought together all the essential elements of SD in this book.
