Environmental Ethics
As the destructive consequences of environmental problems such as global warming, water scarcity and resource and biodiversity destruction have been felt ever more heavily, people are becoming more aware of the importance of and their responsibilities towards environmental protection. The causes of our problems are anthropogenic. The number of people working in what might be termed "environmental industries" or with environmental responsibilities in their day-to-day work has mushroomed. In many cases, however, individuals charged with protecting the environment have a set of empirical priorities: what *is* done, rather than moral priorities which consider what *should* be done. The need to h...
Fundamentals of Sustainable Development
Fundamentals of Sustainable Development is an accessible and interdisciplinary textbook that introduces the concept of sustainable development to students from across the disciplines from economics, management, teacher education, arts and humanities to the natural and social sciences. The impact of development needs to be considered beyond the narrow focus of economic, ecological or social concerns. This new edition builds upon the second edition’s user-friendly and comprehensive overview of the challenges linked to striving for a sustainable, holistic approach to development. Providing a multifaceted approach to the subject in order to encompass what is referred to as ‘people, planet and profit’, this third edition provides a complete update of the text, with an emphasis on topics including the Sustainable Development Goals, the circular economy, climate and energy, and sustainable and future-focused entrepreneurship. This stimulating book is an invaluable resource for students and lecturers in all disciplines who have an interest in the sustainability of our planet, and our human society and economy.
Human Rights and the Environment in Africa
The relationship between human rights and the environment, as evidenced by the recent UN Resolution on the human right to a healthy environment, is a topical, fascinating, uneasy, and increasingly urgent one.

Religion and Ecological Crisis
Religion and Ecological Crisis delves into the complex relationship between religions and ecology, presenting Christian and Islamic perspectives on ecological issues through the work of John Boswell Cobb and Seyyed Hossein Nasr. It examines how faith traditions of the world see and respond to our current unprecedented climate change issues. This is the first comparative study of Cobb and Nasr’s eco-religious understanding, and explores how their prescriptions can contribute alternatively to techno-scientific initiatives in environmental sustainability. Taking Cobb’s "economism" and Nasr’s "scientism" as the key concepts for surveying the roots of the ecological crisis, the book offers interdisciplinary and interreligious insights into the debates about ecological equilibrium, motivational awareness in human mind and about entanglements between religion and the environment. This will be an insightful resource for policy makers, faith leaders and for academics working in Environmental Studies and Religious Studies.
Nachhaltigkeit und Transition: Konzepte. Transition écologique et durabilité: Concepts
Hervorgegangen aus dem Forschungsprojekt "Saisir l'Europe - Europa als Herausforderung" versammeln diese Bände Beiträge in deutscher und französischer Sprache zu Konzepten der Nachhaltigkeit und der ökologischen Transition. Im Zentrum des ersten Bandes stehen ethische und epistemologische Fragen: Wie und für wen soll Nachhaltigkeit gestaltet werden? Wie sollen dabei die natürlichen Grenzen des Planeten und die Phänomene des Anthropozäns berücksichtigt werden? Außerdem wird diskutiert, wie diese Konzepte in verschiedenen Disziplinen - Geschichte, Soziologie, Geografie - reflektiert werden. Der zweite Band umfasst Analysen politischer, ökonomischer und sozialer Fragen, die bei der Formulierung und Umsetzung von Zielen des Umweltschutzes, der Nachhaltigkeit und der ökologischen Transition eine zentrale Rolle spielen. Hier werden auch wichtige Akteure, ihre Initiativen und Praktiken vorgestellt.

Gesundheitstourismus und touristische Destinationsentwicklung
Dieses Lehrbuch führt zugleich theoriebasiert als auch praxisnah in die Grundlagen des Themenfeldes Gesundheitstourismus ein: Es schlägt einen Bogen von der anthropologischen Grundlegung bis zu ethischen Fragestellungen des Gesundheitstourismus – Aspekte, die für den sogenannten "Neuen Gesundheitstourismus" von großer Bedeutung sind. Darüber hinaus werden – ausgehend von der Fragestellung "Wie lernt der Mensch?" – gesundheitstouristische Settings vorgestellt. Einblicke in Betreiberkonzepte, gesundheitstouristische Architekturkonzepte, Finanzierungsalternativen und gesundheitstouristisches Marketing stellen dabei die Säulen dar. Auch werden Destinationen thematisiert, die im Hinblick auf sich ändernde Zielgruppen und ökologische Herausforderungen vor perspektivischen Herausforderungen stehen. Das Buch bietet interdisziplinäre Einblicke in den Gesundheitstourismus. Durch die didaktische Verknüpfung der Inhalte mit Recherchetipps und Praxisbeispielen wird aus dem Lehrbuch eine spannende und informative Reise – willkommen im Glacier-Express dieses Werkes.
