Note(s) : "In Practicing Sustainability, chefs, poets, music directors, evangelical pastors,
skyscraper architects, artists, filmmakers, as well as scientific leaders, entrepreneurs,
educators, business executives, policy makers, and the contrarians, shed light on
our understanding of sustainability and the role that each of us can play. Each contributor
addresses what sustainability means, what is most appealing about the concept, and
what they would like to change to improve the perception and practice of sustainability.
What emerges from their essays is a wide spectrum of views that confirm an important
insight: Sustainability is pursued in different ways not only due to different interpretations,
but also because of varying incentives, trade-offs, and altruistic motives."--Page
