<br/><br/> The word is nearly ubiquitous: at the grocery store we shop for 'sustainable foods' that were produced from 'sustainable agriculture'; groups ranging from small advocacy organisations to city and state governments to the United Nations tout 'sustainable development' as a strategy for local and global stability; and woe betide the city-dweller who doesn't aim for a 'sustainable lifestyle.' Seeming to have come out of nowhere to dominate the discussion-from permaculture to renewable energy to the local food movement-the ideas that underlie and define sustainability can be traced back several centuries. In this book, newly revised and updated, Jeremy L. Caradonna does just that, approaching sustainability from a historical perspective and revealing the conditions that gave it shape.
