Summary:
Parr looks closely at five examples of the hijacking of sustainability: corporate image-greening by such companies as British Petroleum (BP) and Wal-Mart; Hollywood activism by Leonardo DiCaprio and other movie industry figures; the autonomy of communal ecovillages vs. the military-like security of gated communities; the greening of the White House (and its de-greening:(...)

Parr then examines key challenges to sustainability— waste disposal, disaster relief and environmental refugees, slum development, and poverty.

Summary:
L'Association des Maires de France, Archinov, l'Union sociale pour l'habitat et l'Union Nationale des Syndicats Français d'Architectes ont décidé d'unir leurs forces pour élaborer cet ouvrage collectif pédagogique. Nous avons choisi de montrer quelques réalisations exemplaires qui s'inscrivent dans des contextes variés, village, habitat pavillonnaire, faubourg ou centre-ville. Certaines revisitent avec bonheur les expérimentations d'habitat intermédiaire des années 1970, d'autres s'inspirent du bourg ancien, d'autres encore redonnent une nouvelle vie à un patrimoine délaissé. Toutes placent l'habitant au cœur d'une démarche citoyenne et l'envisagent dans toutes ses dimensions (résident, piéton, promeneur, cycliste, automobiliste). Toutes apportent un soin particulier au traitement des lieux publics, à la place de la voiture, aux espaces de transition entre le public et le privé, aux prolongements immédiats du logement. Toutes favorisent les échanges et la convivialité par des cheminements et des lieux de rencontre. Nous avons souhaité faire de cet ouvrage, un outil pratique favorisant le dialogue entre tous les acteurs du cadre de vie afin de répondre autant aux désirs des habitants qu'aux préoccupations environnementales.

Summary:
Advancing a methodology that is rooted in good theory and practice, this book features case studies conducted in the Arctic and Africa, in Canada and Kathmandu, and in the Peruvian Amazon, Chesapeake Bay, and Chennai, India. Applying a systems approach to concrete environmental issues, this volume is geared toward scientists, engineers, and sustainable development scholars and practitioners who are attuned to the ideas of the Resilience Alliance-an international group of scientists who take a more holistic view of ecology and environmental problem-solving. Chapters cover the origins and rebirth of the ecosystem approach in ecology; the bridging of science and values; the challenge of governance in complex systems; systemic and participatory approaches to management; and the place for cultural diversity in the quest for global sustainability.

Summary:
Sustainability at the Cutting Edge is an essential guide to understanding the future direction of sustainable technology. This fully updated new edition deals not only with current best practice and state of the art case studies, but with the very latest emerging technologies which will transform the relationship between buildings and energy. Professor Smith describes how buildings can be made to significantly reduce their reliance on fossil-based energy by the use of solar and geothermal resources. He also describes a range of renewable energy generating technologies. As sustainable building becomes increasingly essential with the advance of climate change, government legislation and international treaties, this is valuable knowledge for every architect, engineer and designer.
