“John Ayers has tackled one of the most critical issues of our time (sustaining human life on our planet) and has clarified the often-misused term sustainability. Drawing on his extensive background as a geochemist, he articulates the challenges we face and logically outlines achievable scenarios in an engaging and easily digestible textbook format.” ― Frank Elliott, University of Alberta, Canada

“This remarkable compilation serves as a cutting-edge review of the existing body of sustainability literature. The ebook offers a profound and insightful synthesis of theories, documented observations, and innovative ideas in the realm of environmental sciences. It promises to resonate with a wide audience of scholars, university students, and professionals alike, from both natural and social science disciplines.” ― Paolo D’Odorico, University of Virginia, USA
