Summary
Summary
The Dictionary of Global Sustainability is intended to serve as a quick reference guide to "green" professionals (architects, developers, realtors, and builders), corporations, industries, governments, instructors, students, and other individuals seeking a better understanding of sustainable concepts. The volume provides nearly 2800 key sustainable terms, as well as a listing of organizations and scholarly and trade journals (domestic and international) that will lead the reader to valuable research materials. Case studies that examine sustainability projects from around the world are also included to illustrate the theory and practice of environmental, economic, technological, and social aspects of sustainability.
