Produktbeschreibung
"This book discusses the key concepts that underpin the drive towards global sustainability in today's complex world. Based around the notion of transformative research, the authors propose novel social, economic and political concepts to favor new paradigms in the natural sciences, engineering and education. They argue for integrating interdisciplinarity, evolution and optimization principles, with sustainability, into our way of living. The issues are tackled in three parts. Part 1 presents models based on natural cycles of diversity and balance. The authors propose resilience and sustainability as the two pillars of innovation for the global population, but also for future generations. Part 2 redesigns the notion of "competitiveness" and confronts the confusion that sometimes leads to competitiveness often being reduced to profitability. Part 3 introduces mechanisms and approaches to apply the sustainability models in a worldwide cooperative context. As such, this book presents a method to formalize economic and social sustainability as a single unified approach to modern living."--Back cover.
