Rezensionen

«To sum up, this handbook offers the reader a state-of-the-art overwiew over world-wide research projects with the label 'sustainability research'. It will be of interest to researchers, educators, students and practitioners of development concerned with sustainability.[...] Hence, to appreciate the book as a whole, the willingness to go beyond one's own discipline and discover different interpretations of sustainability will be helpful.» (Stephan Piotrowski, Quarterly Journal of International Agriculture)
