دانشنامه برکشر درباره پایداری ۶/۱۰: اندازه‌گیری‌ها، شاخص‌ها و روش‌های تحقیق برای پایداری

Measurements, Indicators, and Research Methods for Sustainability presents a thorough and accessible overview of the ways in which sustainability is charted worldwide. Some articles introduce basic concepts, such as quantitative versus qualitative data or the weak versus strong sustainability debate; others examine how indicators in specific areas (climate change and soil conservation, agriculture, and mining) have been applied (or not) to different regions. Research analysts explain the modes and media through which these measurements are broadcast, stressing the importance of developing methods that can be understood by both experts and ordinary citizens. They also examine the process of monitoring, itself a controversial topic affecting national or international policy, law, rules, and regulations. In The 10-volume Berkshire Encyclopedia Of Sustainability Experts Around The World Provide Authoritative Coverage Of The Growing Body Of Knowledge About Ways To Restore The Planet. Focused On Solutions, This Interdisciplinary Publication Draws From The Natural, Physical, And Social Sciences. The Result Is A Unified, Organized, And Peer-reviewed Resource On Sustainability That Connects Academic Research To Real World Challenges And Provides A Balanced, Trustworthy Perspective On The Global Environmental Challenges In The 21st Century--publisher's Description.
