The Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology series (ESST)
addresses the grand challenges for science and engineering today. It provides
unprecedented, peer-reviewed coverage in more than 600 separate articles
comprising 20 topical volumes, incorporating many updates from the first
edition as well as new articles. ESST establishes a foundation for the many
sustainability and policy evaluations being performed in institutions
worldwide.
An indispensable resource for scientists and engineers in developing new
technologies and for applying existing technologies to sustainability, the
Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology series is presented at
the university and professional level needed for scientists, engineers, and their
students to support real progress in sustainability science and technology.
Although the emphasis is on science and technology rather than policy, the
Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology series is also a comprehensive and authoritative resource for policy makers who want to understand the scope of research and development and how these bottom-up
innovations map on to the sustainability challenge.
