Editor: Rudolf Burrow
Releasing in 2021
Binding: Hardcover
Environmentalism refers to a philosophy and world-view which stresses on the optimum and sustainable use of natural resources. It includes concepts like biodiversity preservation, ecology conservation, land ethics and biophilia hypothesis, etc. Environmentalism often has a critique of modernity, which includes critical evaluations of the culture of mass-production and mass-consumption. Since environmental issues exist in the nexus of social, cultural, economic, political and natural spheres of human life, a narrow single ideological perspective cannot provide an adequate solution. The term "environmentalism" is associated with other modern terms such as "greening," "environmental management," "resource efficiency and waste minimization," "environmental responsibility," and Environmental ethics and justice. Environmentalism also entails emerging issues such as global warming and the development of renewable energy.
This book outlines the processes and applications of environmentalism and sustainability in detail. It will explain broadly the various techniques and methods of sustainable use of environmental resources. It encompasses a wide range of procedures from pollution control to sustainable development goals. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective development with respect to environmentalism and sustainability. Also included in this book is a detailed explanation of the various applications related to this field. Selected concepts that redefine the field have been presented in this text. The book is appropriate for those seeking detailed information in this area.
