It discusses how business and government can work towards sustainability, focusing on managerial and legal tools, before considering ethics and how decisions on environmental management can be made.

Practical applications are included throughout, and there are study questions at the end of each chapter.
PowerPoint slides and jpegs of all the figures in the book are provided online.
