| Editor: Peter A. Wilderer (Institute for Advanced Studies on Sustainability, Munich, Germany); Editor: Edward D. Schroeder (Civil & Environmental Engineering, University of California, Davis, CA); Editor: Horst Kopp (Institute for Geography, FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg, Erlangen, Germany) |
| This first book to focus on cultural diversity as a key element of sustainable development in the context of science and engineering provides cross-disciplinary information and assistance in understanding our world in transition. As such, it furnishes the global scientific community and decision makers in governmental and non-governmental institutions as well as in industry with much-need information on how the various factors affecting sustainable development -- including culture -- depend on and interfere with each other. Featuring a contribution by the President of the Club of Rome, HRH Prince El Hassan bin Talal, this is vital reading for all (natural) scientists, engineers, economists, ecologists, environmental organizations, and consultants.
