Maurie J. Cohen is Professor of Sustainability Studies at the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
�Sustainability�s original impulse�to transform how we live
together on this planet�has splintered into a zoo of small-bore
activities. Maurie Cohen masterfully organizes this menagerie of
interpretations and approaches into an overarching framework that
recovers the radical meaning of the challenge.�
Paul Raskin, Tellus Institute �This book offers a very accessible
introduction to science, policy and practice associated with the
broad and complex topic of sustainability. It delineates many
central concepts and lines of development with references to
relevant events and actors. A particularly strength of the book is
that it critically questions the reliability of some
well-established assumptions and concepts for fostering a
sustainability transition. Accordingly, the book will be very
useful as an introduction to sustainability for interdisciplinary
audiences.�
Doris Fuchs, University of Münster
