Rather than suggesting a single solution to the problem of how to live sustainably, this collection discusses broader approaches to social and environmental change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEight continuing authors and seven new ones adjust their dispositions toward rapidly changing and still unsustainable conditions, forging agreements and disagreements on five overlapping themes: the \u003ci\u003eGrounds for Sustainability; \u003c\/i\u003ethe critique of \u003ci\u003eTechnological Culture; \u003c\/i\u003ethe need to conceive of \u003ci\u003eSustainability in Place; \u003c\/i\u003ein \u003ci\u003eCities\u003c\/i\u003e; finally asking how should we reimagine the fraught relationship between \u003ci\u003eCivil Society, Industry \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eRegulation?\u003c\/i\u003e Editor Steven A. Moore asks how a set of ideas now more than a century old remains relevant. A partial answer can be found in reconstructing the very modern ideas confronted by those who came to call themselves Pragmatists at the beginning of the twentieth century—\u003ci\u003eevolution, ecology\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003edesign. \u003c\/i\u003eMoore argues that we have yet to develop dispositions in theory and practice that critically integrate these ideas into sustainable development. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn sum, this new edition provides a fresh and hopeful look at the wicked problems deliberated by almost anyone engaged in adapting to the always changing conditions of the built world. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45543121649902,"sku":"9781138123915","price":294.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781138123915.jpg?v=1720140866","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/pragmatic-sustainability","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
