Each author describes the evolution of environmental science and policy in the past half century and consider the challenges of the future. Although the authors of this book come from various fields, they have followed paths that have generally converged on the concept of sustainability. This book attempts to define what sustainability is, how we can achieve it, and what the prospects for sustainability in the future are.

Review
"Many courses taught by ecologists, new undergraduate curricula in ecology and environmental studies, and many new innovative graduate programs are attempting to break the shackles of disciplinary thinking. Foundations of Environmental Sustainability models this type of interdisciplinary study both in terms of specific cases and by offering all of its authors as role models, who like Lee Talbot, recognize that our science can guide the decision-making process and implementation of programs that may help sustain ecosystems and their processes."--Ecology
"Essential reading for policymakers and scientists alike, [Foundations of Environmental Sustainability] offers a balanced appraisal of the global state of sustainable practice, past and present."--Abstracts of Public Administration, Development, and Environment
