Review
'A seminal achievement.' Ethics in Science and Environmental Politics 'This book provides an integrated approach to the questions of sustainable development, environmental justice and equity.' Oxfam 'A thought-provoking argument links the chapters of this edited volume... Just Sustainabilities contains enough interesting material to mae this a useful introduction to the issues, and a worthwile addition to reading lists, particularly for upper level undergraduate and graduate courses.' Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy 'Just Sustainabilities: Development in an Unequal World does a remarkable job of presenting the theories and challenges that exist practically and philosophically with regard to environmental and social justice and sustainability.' Nicole M. Smith, Culture and Agriculture
Product Description
Environmental activists and academics alike are realizing that a sustainable society must be a just one. Environmental degradation is almost always linked to questions of human equality and quality of life. Throughout the world, those segments of the population that have the least political power and are the most marginalized are selectively victimized by environmental crises. This book argues that social and environmental justice within and between nations should be an integral part of the policies and agreements that promote sustainable development. The book addresses the links between environmental quality and human equality and between sustainability and environmental justice.

The Comprehensive Look at EJ and Sustainability, 13 Jun 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Just Sustainabilities: Development in an Unequal World (Urban and Industrial Environments) (Paperback)
This book does a wonderful job of taking different approaches and tools of looking at how sustainability and equity relate to each other. It scans the globe, distinct definitions of environmental justice, and a variety of environmental issues to create a less U.S. centered look at what environmental justice means and its relationship with sustainability around the world. The editors and contributors are well-known and distinguished in the field of environmental justice and sustainable development, making this book a must read for a comprehensive look at how two sometimes disparate and sometimes intertwined concepts interact. It also works well as an introduction to environmental justice and sustainability. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in equity issues; environmental justice is often one of the last considerations in environmental battles. Works like this will help make equity one of the first considerations.

This review is from: Just Sustainabilities: Development in an Unequal World (Urban and Industrial Environments) (Paperback)
I just received the book "Just Sustainabilities: Development in an Unequal World." Service was quick and the item was in very good condition--better than I thought based on its presentation on Amazon. Would recommend seller to others.
