El libro intitulado Visiones del desarrollo sostenible recoge las distintas posturas intelectuales del doctorando en Desarrollo sostenible de la Universidad de Manizales Caldas-Colombia, sobre un tema de relevancia mundial y de alto impacto en lo político, en lo económico, en lo social y en lo cultural, como es la problemática derivada en esa interacción-relación hombre-naturaleza, vista no solo en lo teórico, sino en lo práctico. La dinámica poblacional y su relación con el entorno bajo procesos históricamente conocidos como revoluciones industriales, han permitido a la humanidad gozar de grandes beneficios y comodidades, muchos de los cuales han dejado su impronta en lo que hoy llamamos la huella ecológica y, con ello, grandes desafíos ambientales y sociales; uno de ellos es el cambio climático, resultado de ignorar el desarrollo sustentable como una opción para complementar el actual sistema político y social. No obstante, desde mediados del siglo XX, el despertar de movimientos ambientalistas y ecologistas ha incursionado en la conciencia colectiva, que poco a poco ha permeado las estructuras de poder político y económico, a la vez que ha hecho, de los medios de comunicación, la forma eficaz para comunicar las consecuencias de no actuar de forma coherente con nuestro planeta. Por fortuna, hoy, son más los científicos especializados, movimientos sociales y, en algunos casos, políticos y líderes empresariales que se unen a esta causa; con lo cual la esperanza de un mundo mejor para nuestros hijos es una posibilidad y una obligación. Una evidencia de que existe una mayor conciencia colectiva por un ambiente sano es la curiosidad investigativa de los distintos autores que participan en esta edición, que buscan no solo una aproximación conceptual y teórica, sino ofrecer una visión alternativa de desarrollo sostenible.

Although widely advocated, sustainable tourism is subject to numerous interpretations -- from environmentally friendly forms of tourism to maintaining the economic viability of tourist activity in a specific place. This book explores various views on sustainable tourism and demonstrates its complexity and diversity, in order to clarify the issues in operational terms. It addresses questions such as: can tourist activity be sustainable economically; can tourism lead to sustainability from an environmental perspective; and what is the role of tourism as a sustainable development strategy? Much of the book consists of a series of European case studies, from the U.K., France, Spain, Italy and Greece. These case studies cover three main themes: recreation and tourism in natural and rural areas; coastal tourism; and islands. The book represents a valuable supplementary text for students of tourism, as well as related disciplines such as geography, economics, environmental management, and local and regional planning and development.

"Sustainable use of aquatic ecosystems is high on regional, national and international agendas and central to the implementation of international agreements on biological diversity, responsible fisheries and fish stock management. Since 2001, when political commitments were made to implement the ecosystem approach, countries have begun to incorporate ecosystem considerations into their fisheries management and have met with varied success." "The Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries covers both theoretical andapplied aspects of sustainable management, with a particular emphasis on reviewing concepts and addressing implementation issues in the form of case studies from around the world. Personal experiences are considered from diverse backgrounds and discuss the constraints encountered, strategies identified and best practices to facilitate further implementation."--BOOK JACKET.

Unprecedented levels of wealth, technology and institutional capacity can forge a just, peaceful and ecologically resilient future. However, the authors argue, social polarization, geo-political conflict and environmental degradation are threatening the long-term well-being of humanity and the planet. Global Sustainability explores the alternative futures that could emerge from the resolution of these antagonisms. Based on extensive international and interdisciplinary research, the book identifies the perils of market-driven scenarios and considers the possibility of the failure of conventional approaches. It also, however, presents a vision of the possibility of a 'Great Transition' in which revised human values and development goals bring a new stage of civilization. It will be essential reading for all scholars and professionals interested in the future of the environment, international affairs, and sustainable development.
