Reviews

'This book on personal sustainability is a unique and urgently needed volume for advancing sustainable development. As faculty, we disparage companies and managers, but seldom do we turn our scrutiny inward and focus on our own personal commitment and conduct. This is a unique and most inspiring volume and I enthusiastically recommend it.' -- Archie B. Carroll, Professor Emeritus, University of Georgia, US, co-author of forthcoming Business & Society: Ethics, Sustainability & Stakeholder Management, 11th Edition
