El presente trabajo presenta una nueva perspectiva del desarrollo sostenible. Se parte de un repaso critico de las visiones contemporaneas del desarrollo sostenible tales como las que se emplean para la planificacion de intervenciones sobre el medio natural. Se presenta luego el pensamiento sistemico multimodal como una alternativa para alcanzar una mejor vision sobre una problematica compleja como la que atane al medio ambiente, mostrando las posibilidades que ofrece para el tratamiento interdisciplinar de los problemas ambientales. Se analizan tres problemas que se encuentran en primer lugar en las relaciones multimodales: el estetico, el etico y el social. En la discusion sobre la estetica se anticipa una relacion con la etica, problema de larga trayectoria en el pensamiento filosofico y se avanza luego sobre una nueva etica del ambiente. El tercer ambito natural de estudio es la esfera social. Finalmente se trata el problema de la compatibilizacion epistemologica, es decir del desarrollo de una doctrina de base capaz de fundar sobre un mismo suelo de conocimiento las disciplinas revisadas.

The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].

Through his voluminous and in?uential writings, editorial activities, organi- tional leadership, intellectual acumen, and strong sense of history, Clifford - brose Truesdell III (1919–2000) was the main architect for the renaissance of - tional continuum mechanics since the middle of the twentieth century. The present collection of 42 essays and research papers pays tribute to this man of mathematics, science, and natural philosophy as well as to his legacy. The ?rst ?ve essays by B. D. Coleman, E. Giusti, W. Noll, J. Serrin, and D. Speiser were texts of addresses given by their authors at the Meeting in memory of Clifford Truesdell, which was held in Pisa in November 2000. In these essays the reader will ?nd personal reminiscences of Clifford Truesdell the man and of some of his activities as scientist, author, editor, historian of exact sciences, and principal founding member of the Society for Natural Philosophy. The bulk of the collection comprises 37 research papers which bear witness to the Truesdellian legacy. These papers cover a wide range of topics; what ties them together is the rational spirit. Clifford Truesdell, in his address upon receipt of a Birkhoff Prize in 1978, put the essence of modern continuum mechanics succinctly as “conceptual analysis, analysis not in the sense of the technical term but in the root meaning: logical criticism, dissection, and creative scrutiny.
