Routledge Handbook of the History of Sustainability

2017 | History & Politics

The Routledge Handbook of the History of Sustainability is a far-reaching survey of the deep and contemporary history of sustainability. This innovative resource will help to define the history of sustainability as an identifiable field. It provides a unique resource for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars, and provides essential context for understanding the current state and future path of the sustainability movement. The history of sustainability is an increasingly important domain within the discipline of history, which draws on an interdisciplinary set of fields, ranging from energy studies, transportation, and urbanism to environmental history, economics, and philosophy. Key sections in this Handbook cover the historiography of sustainability, resilience and collapse in historical societies, the deep roots of sustainability (17th century to 19th century), the recent history of sustainability (20th century to present), and core issues and key debates in sustainability.

This Handbook is an invaluable research and teaching tool for those interested in the history and development of sustainability and it should become an essential resource in the many "sustainability studies" programs that now exist in the world's universities.
