A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition.The spine remains undamaged. Cultures of Sustainability and Wellbeing: Theories, Histories and Policies examines and assesses the interdependence between sustainability and wellbe ing by drawing attention to humans as producers and consumers in a post-hum an age. Why wellbeing ought to be regarded as essential to sustainable deve lopment is explored first from multifocal theoretical perspectives encompas sing sociology, literary criticism and socioeconomics, second in relation t o institutions and policies, and third with a focus on specific case studie s across the world. Wellbeing and its sustainability are defined in terms o f biological and cultural diversity; stages of advancement in science and t echnology; notions of citizenship and agency; geopolitical scenarios and en vironmental conditions. Wellbeing and sustainability call for enquiries into human capacities in on tological, epistemological and practical terms. A view of sustainability th at revolves around material and immaterial wellbeing is based on the assump tion that life quality, comfort, happiness, security, safety always posit h umans as both recipients and agents. Risk and resilience in contemporary so cieties define the intrinsically human ability to make and consume, to act and adapt, driving the search for and fruition of wellbeing. How to sustain the dual process of exploitation and regeneration is a task that requires integrated approaches from the sciences and the humanities, jointly tracing a worldwide cartography with clear localisations. This book will be of great interest to students and researc.
