Описание: This book provides an introduction to the state of sustainability education in Asia. It covers national policies, institutional policies and practices within Asian universities, sustainability considerations for teacher training at schools of education, and pedagogical practices for sustainability in higher education.
Campus leaders describe how community colleges, publicly funded universities, and private liberal arts colleges across America are integrating sustainability into curriculum, policies, and programs.
In colleges and universities across the United States, students, faculty, and staff are forging new paths to sustainability. From private liberal arts colleges to major research institutions to community colleges, sustainability concerns are being integrated into curricula, policies, and programs. New divisions, degree programs, and courses of study cross traditional disciplinary boundaries; Sustainability Councils become part of campus governance; and new sustainability issues link to historic social and educational missions. In this book, leaders from twenty-four colleges and universities offer their stories of institutional and personal transformation.
These stories document both the power of leadership -- whether by college presidents, faculty, staff, or student activists -- and the potential for institutions to redefine themselves. Chapters recount, among other things, how inclusive campus governance helped mobilize students at the University of South Carolina; how a course at the Menominee Nation's tribal college linked sustainability and traditional knowledge; how the president of Furman University convinced a conservative campus community to make sustainability a strategic priority; how students at San Diego State University built sustainability into future governance while financing a LEED platinum-certified student center; and how sustainability transformed pedagogy in a lecture class at Penn State. As this book makes clear, there are many paths to sustainability in higher education. These stories offer a snapshot of what has been accomplished and a roadmap to what is possible.

Описание: Explores how human needs and desires, from sustenance and shelter to recreation and travel, have spurred the consumption of Earth`s material resources. Scientists, ecologists, and other expert authors present the historical impact of commercial activities, discuss the global distribution and use of renewable and nonrenewable resources, and focus on innovative approaches for the future.
Описание: Presents a thorough and accessible overview of the ways in which sustainability is charted worldwide. Some articles introduce basic concepts, such as quantitative versus qualitative data or the weak versus strong sustainability debate; others examine how indicators in specific areas have been applied (or not) to different regions.
Описание: Focuses on the geographic area where humans originated and first began to make use of the natural world - Earth`s largest landmass, stretching from Portugal across the steppes of Russia and south across Africa to the Cape of Good Hope. By examining the history of human expansion, international scholars and regional experts weave sustainability into core curricular subjects.
Описание: Provides extensive coverage of sustainability practices in two regions linked culturally and historically. Regional experts and international scholars focus on environmental history in areas such as the South Pacific islands, and on countries whose governments and corporations can play a major role in promoting or discouraging sustainable choices.
