Items related to SUSTAINABLILITY INDICATORS
This text addresses global interest in ways of measuring sustainability. The authors review the development and value of such sustainability indicators. Set against the late-1990s trends in sustainability indicator development, the authors discuss the advantages of taking an holistic and subjective approach. Building on practices such as the sustainable cities initiative, they describe a systemic approach to sustainability indicator development, and conclude by developing a series of questions for future development.

Review:
'The book by Bell and Morse provides much insight and enlightenment to a wide audience that deals, in some way or another, with sustainability. The book challenges the current way of thinking; developing new practical approaches to sustainability that incorporates the views and values of local people is proposed as the science of the future. Academics and practitioners alike will find this book a must-have to the ever growing literature on sustainability.' Alan Brent, International Jourbnal of Sustainable Engineering
