As the human population continues to grow and places increasing demands on the planet we inhabit we face the biggest challenge of our time: how can we exploit the natural resources available to us - be it for water, food, or energy - in a way that preserves the environment, and doesn't compromise its long-term future - and that of our species. Environment, Development and Sustainability represents an examination of environment, development and sustainability as three integrated issues that form the main ongoing challenge of this century. Looking beyond developing countries, this book presents examples from around the globe, reflecting the way that development is not a finished state: North America, the EU countries and Australasia continue to develop (and conversely have pockets of awful deprivation), and environment, development and sustainability are as much intertwined in these regions as elsewhere in the world. With contributions from technologists, engineers, natural scientists and social scientists Environment, Development and Sustainability presents multiple perspectives on the issue of sustainable development. It celebrates the diversity of its contributors and uses positively this diversity as a resource for a more holistic approach to environment, development and sustainability.

Learning for Development (Development Matters)

This book examines learning processes and how they contribute to development. Explaining theories of learning and social learning, it describes the many difficulties individuals and organizations encounter in bringing about change for development. Examining the roles of power and conflict in learning, it analyses the relationships between individuals and their organizations, as well as the wider context that affects them. 
Case studies based on the authors' own research in Africa and Europe present a diverse range of development actors and contexts, typical of many situations practitioners face. Finally, the book offers conceptual/theoretical reflections that enable an analytical approach to development while also proposing models and ways of thinking of practical use to readers.
