Riassunto

Sustainable Resource Management: Modern Approaches and Contexts presents the application of the current concept of sustainability to the management of natural resources, such as water, land, minerals and metals using theoretical field knowledge and illustrative real-world examples. Initially, the book defines sustainability, detailing its evolution and how it has been adapted to each of the contexts in which it is used. Furthermore, sustainability is made up of three main areas of science—environmental, social and economic—which are rarely considered together. This book is a complete reference guide to sustainability of natural resources for academics, researchers, practitioners and postgraduate-level students, and more.

As sustainability is an interdisciplinary field, linked to most sciences, it is also of use to all fields of science that need to maintain sustainable practices and specific details on the methodologies and techniques needed for sustainable resource management.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Sustainable Resource Management: Modern Approaches and Contexts presents the application of the current concept of sustainability to the management of natural resources, both renewable and non-renewable, such as water, land, minerals, and metals; using theoretical field knowledge, as well as illustrative real-world examples. The concept of sustainability and its application in the management of scarce resources are fundamental questions for development of a sustainable future. There are many studies dealing with partial topics on sustainable resource management, but in general they offer incomplete and disjointed information. This book will provide a reference guide in applying the concept of sustainability to the management of different types of resources. This book initially defines sustainability, detailing its evolution since its introduction in 1987, and how it has been adapted to each of the contexts in which it is used. Furthermore, sustainability is made up of three main areas of science: environmental, social and economic), which are rarely considered together, so this is approached in an interdisciplinary manner.

Sustainable Resource Management: Modern Approaches and Contexts

is a complete reference guide to sustainability of natural resources for academics, researchers, practitioners and postgraduate-level students of any related sustainability field, predominantly environmental science. It will also be of use to form a thorough overview of sustainable resource management to upper-level students, as well as academics, researchers and industry practitioners in the field of social sciences, life and physical sciences and engineering. As sustainability is an interdisciplinary field, linked to most sciences, it is also of use to all fields of science that need to maintain sustainable practices and specifically details the methodologies and techniques for sustainable resource management.
