<br/><br/> Three principles of sustainability, solar energy, chemical cycling, and biodiversity, can guide us in making a shift to a more sustainable society.  Five major subthemes - natural capital, natural capital degradation, solutions, trade-offs, and the fact that individuals matter - guide the way to sustainability.  This book looks at these subthemes and builds on the knowledge you learn by providing core case studies.
