520    Sustainable development is capturing the attention of 
       planners, politicians and business leaders. Within the 
       academic sphere its study is increasingly breaching 
       disciplinary boundaries to become a focus of attention for
       natural and social scientists alike. But in studying such 
       a key concept, it is vital that there is a clear 
       definition of what it means, how it is applied on the 
       ground, and the influence it exerts upon people's 
       perceptions of change in the physical environment, 
       economic activity and society. Exploring Sustainable 
       Development is a major new text which provides a 
       multifaceted introduction to key areas of study in this 
       field, examining sustainability at the full range of 
       spatial scales from the local to the global. Building on 
       existing theory it demonstrates the unique contributions 
       that thinking geographically about space, place and human-
       environment relationships can bring to the analysis of 
       sustainable development. This book explores different 
       interpretations of sustainable development in both theory 
       and practice, in developed and developing countries, and 
       in rural and urban areas. It pays particular attention to 
       the local, national and international politics of 
       implementation, the future of climate and energy, the role
       of business, and different conceptions of agricultural 
       sustainability. This wide-ranging text is ideal for 
       undergraduates and postgraduates in geography, 
       environmental science, development studies, and related 
       social and political sciences.
