{"product_id":"pragmatic-sustainability-9781138123922","title":"Pragmatic Sustainability","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis second edition of \u003cem\u003ePragmatic Sustainability\u003c\/em\u003e proposes a pragmatic, discursive and pluralistic approach to thinking about sustainability. Rather than suggesting a single solution to the problem of how to live sustainably, this collection discusses broader approaches to social and environmental change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEight continuing authors and seven new ones adjust their dispositions toward rapidly changing and still unsustainable conditions, forging agreements and disagreements on five overlapping themes: the \u003ci\u003eGrounds for Sustainability\u003c\/i\u003e, the critique of \u003ci\u003eTechnological Culture\u003c\/i\u003e, the need to conceive of \u003ci\u003eSustainability in Place\u003c\/i\u003e, in \u003ci\u003eCities\u003c\/i\u003e; finally asking how should we reimagine the fraught relationship between \u003ci\u003eCivil Society, Industry\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eRegulation\u003c\/i\u003e? Editor Steven A. Moore asks how a set of ideas now more than a century old remains relevant. A partial answer can be found in reconstructing the very modern ideas confronted by those who came to call themselves Pragmatists at the beginning of the twentieth century—\u003ci\u003eevolution, ecology\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003edesign\u003c\/i\u003e. Moore argues that we have yet to develop dispositions in theory and practice that critically integrate these ideas into sustainable development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn sum, this new edition provides a fresh and hopeful look at the wicked problems deliberated by almost anyone engaged in adapting to the always changing conditions of the built world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607452926188,"sku":"9781138123922","price":104.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781138123922-pragmatic-sustainability.jpg?v=1778164900","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/pragmatic-sustainability-9781138123922","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
