| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sustainability is the capacity to endure. In ecology the word describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. Long-lived and healthy wetlands and forests are examples of sustainable biological systems. For humans, sustainability is the potential for long-term maintenance of well being, which has environmental, economic, and social dimensions. Sustainability interfaces with economics through the social and ecological consequences of economic activity. Sustainability economics involves ecological economics where social, cultural, health-related and monetary/financial aspects are integrated. This book studies sustainability disciplines and activities including sustainable yield, sustainable art, sustainable urban infrastructure, and planetary management.
