Reviews
"""Sustainability requires of universities to re-imagine and re-position their role in society as agents and drivers of transformative change. It calls for engagement with societal challenges strategically intentional ways. This Handbook skilfully demonstrates how to critically think about sustainability and provides a wealth of examples of practical actions."" --Tawana Kupe, Vice Chancellor and Rector, University of Pretoria, South Africa ""Our only hope to achieve a sustainable future for the soon-to-be 10 billion of us on this planet is to ensure that the 200 million students currently pursuing some form of higher education understand the importance and complexity of the global sustainable development agenda, are provided the tools to positively participate in and shape it, and are inspired to make a difference. This Handbook, edited by Wendy Purcell and Janet Haddock-Fraser, provides an effective roadmap for institutions ready to step up to the challenge and play a role through education, research and as convenors of other actors."" --Angel Cabrera, President of Georgia Institute of Technology, USA ""With this Handbook, the editors have provided the right book at the right time. With scant time until 2030, we are not anywhere close to achieving the 17 SDGs. This comprehensive and diverse collection of cases should serve as a wake-up call to all HEIs to engage in transformational change."" --Ellen E. Touchstone, Associate Dean, Responsible and Sustainable Business Education, International Business School Suzhou at XJTLU, China"
