New Book: Agenda For A Sustainable America, Edited By John Dernback

A new book, Agenda For A Sustainable America edited by Widener Law School Professor John C. Dernback, provides a comprehensive assessment of progress in the United States toward sustainable development. The book also provides a roadmap of next steps toward achieving sustainability.

 

The author assesses trends in 28 separate areas of American life—including forestry; transportation; oceans and estuaries; religion; and state, local, and national governance. In every area, contributors reveal what sustainable development could mean, with suggestions that are specific, desirable, and achievable.

 

Their expert recommendations point the way toward greater economic and social well-being, increased security, and environmental protection and restoration for current and future generations of Americans. Together they build a convincing case for how sustainable development can improve our opportunities and our lives.

 

A copy of the book announcement is available online.
