This first book to focus on cultural diversity as a key element of sustainable development in the context of science and engineering provides cross-disciplinary information and assistance in understanding our world in transition. As such, it furnishes the global scientific community and decision makers in governmental and non-governmental institutions as well as in industry with much-needed information on how the various factors affecting sustainable development -- including culture -- depend on and interfere with each other. Featuring a contribution by the President of the Club of Rome, HRH Prince El Hassan bin Talal, this is vital reading for all (natural) scientists, engineers, economists, ecologists, environmental organizations, and consultants.Content: Chapter 1 History and Mandate of Sustainability: From Local Forestry to Global Policy (pages 5-19): Prof. Dr. Gabriele Weber?Blaschke, Prof. Dr. Reinhard Mosandl and Prof. Dr. Martin FaulstichChapter 2 Sustainable Development: Exploring the Cross?Cultural Dimension (pages 21-41): Prof. Dr. Ortwin RennChapter 3 Sustainable Development and Cultural Diversity (pages 43-51): Prof. Dr. Hartmann LiebetruthChapter 4 Technological Progress in Different Cultures and Periods: Historical Evolution Projected into the Future (pages 53-64): Prof. Dr. Raoul WeilerChapter 5 Views of Sustainability: Elements of a Synthesis (pages 65-85): Dr. Dimitris KyriakouChapter 6 A New Way of Thinking about Sustainability, Risk and Environmental Decision?Making (pages 87-93): Prof. Dr. William E.
