Reviews
“John Ayers has addressed one of the matters of our time (maintaining human life on earth) and made clear the meaning of the overused word sustainability. Using his experience as a geochemist, he has given us clear descriptions of the issue facing us and logically defined possible scenarios in an easy-to-read textbook.” ― Frank Elliott, University of Alberta, Canada
“This is a truly excellent state-of-the-art review of the sustainability literature. The ebook provides an exceptional and insightful synthesis of theories, observations, and new ideas related to the study of sustainability in the context of the environmental sciences. It will encourage a wide community of scholars, college students, and practitioners both from the natural and social sciences.” ― Paolo D’Odorico, University of Virginia, USA
