 Sustainable Dual-Track Development: The Future of Software Engineering for Co-located, Remote, and Hybrid Teams by Todd Sedano, Paul Ralph English | August 26, 2025 | ISBN: 1032983108 | 262 pages | MOBI | 17 Mb Every decade or so, the software development community reinvents itself to address the dominant problems of the day. Agile methods reacted against slow, bureaucratic, documentation driven development. The next big shift reacts against unsustainable development practices.  Sustainable Diplomacy: Ecology, Religion and Ethics in Muslim-Christian Relations (Culture and Religion in International Relations) By David Joseph Wellman 2004 | 260 Pages | ISBN: 1403964424 | PDF | 1 MB Drawing on the disciplines of Islamic and Christian Ethics, International Affairs, Environmental Science, History and Anthropology, Sustainable Diplomacy: Ecology, Religion and Ethics in Muslim-Christian Relations is a highly constructive work. Set in the context of modern Moroccan-Spanish relations, this text is a direct critique of realism as it is practiced in modern diplomacy. Proposing a new eco-centric approach to relations between nation-states and bioregions, Wellman presents the case for Ecological Realism, an undergirding philosophy for conducting a diplomacy that values the role of popular religions, ecological histories, and the consumption and waste patterns of national populations. Sustainable Diplomacy is thus a means of building relations not only between elites but also between people on the ground, as they together face the real possibility of global ecological destruction.  Sustainable Development in the Digital Era: Collaborative Management by Leonilde Varela, Goran Putnik, Manupati Vijaya Kumar English | August 25, 2025 | ISBN: 1032644540 | 186 pages | MOBI | 11 Mb Collaborative manufacturing and management are a fundamental requirement in today's digital age, to enable an innovative and sustainable development of companies. This is possible and highly recommended not just in the context of traditional companies, but further in cyber physical systems and in the context of extended, distributed, networked and virtual organizations.  Sustainable Development (Routledge Introductions to Environment) By Susan Baker 2006 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 041528211X | PDF | 2 MB The promotion of sustainable development opens up the debates surrounding our relationship with the natural world, what constitutes social progress, and the character of development in the present and into the future. Answering the need for an introductory, comprehensive, yet critical book that explores the challenges involved in the implementation of sustainable development, this revealing text investigates this subject across different socio-political and economic contexts. It combines an examination of the institutional engagement with sustainable development at a global level, with an empirically informed discussion on challenges facing high consumption societies, economies in transition and third world countries in their efforts to achieve sustainable development. Recognizing that promoting sustainable development is a quintessentially global task, the book focuses on the authoritative Brundtland formulation of sustainable development and the role of the United Nations Summits in promoting this vision. The empirical focus of the book is complemented by strong conceptual discussions as sustainable development is explored as part of new efforts, albeit tentative, to integrate environmental, economic and (more recently) social considerations into a new development paradigm. Providing an accessible, up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of the issues surrounding the promotion of sustainable development, this unique, internationally-focused book combines a strong conceptual analysis, with wide ranging empirical focus and a wealth of case material. Including summary points and suggestions for further reading, as well as web resources and an extensive bibliography, it is ideal for students, scholars and researchers in the fields of environmental sciences, politics, sociology and development studies.

Sustainability in the Coffee Supply Chain: Tensions and Paradoxes (Palgrave Studies in Logistics and Supply Chain Management) by Federica Pascucci English | December 28, 2024 | ISBN: 3031725018 | 176 pages | EPUB, PDF (True) | 5.42 Mb From the field to the cup, this book investigates sustainability issues along the coffee supply chain, identifying the challenges that firms face when they are called to reach sustainability goals. In particular, it explores the relationships involving the actors throughout the broad coffee supply chain, among which some tensions may emerge. Firms increasingly need to interact with various supply chain members to achieve their sustainability goals and with a variety of other stakeholders as well, such as NGOs or regulators. Therefore, in order to fully investigate sustainability, it is fundamental to adopt a broader view of the supply chain that goes beyond dyadic relationships (typically, between customer and supplier).  Sustainability in Polymer Technology and Plastic Engineering: Concepts, Strategies, and Opportunities by Tamara Tatrishvili, Neha Kanwar Rawat, Swati Gokul Talele English | April 7, 2025 | ISBN: 1774917629 | 348 pages | MOBI | 14 Mb The use of polymer and plastic materials have grown widely in recent years due to their wide ranging applications in both science and engineering.

Sustainability Management and Strategy: An African Casebook by Igazeuma Adikema Okoroba, Enoch Opare Mintah, Robert Ebo Hinson English | June 29, 2025 | ISBN: 103283241X | 270 pages | MOBI | 4.52 Mb With Africa predicted to emerge as a leading market in the coming years, the debate on sustainability, especially on the mitigation of business impact on the continent's environment and society, cannot be underestimated. Prior to the worsening impact of climate change, the continent has historically been struggling to consolidate sustainability efforts in driving social and environmental protection caused by both foreign (majorly) and local business activities in the region. To capture current social and environmental injustice plaguing the African continent, Secretary‑General Prof. Petteri Taalas of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) opined that "Africa is responsible for less than 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, but it is the continent which is the least able to cope with the negative impacts of climate change. Heatwaves, heavy rains, floods, tropical cyclones, and prolonged droughts are having devastating impacts on communities and economies, with increasing numbers of people at risk."

Susan Glaspell: Her Life and Times By Linda Ben-Zvi 2005 | 506 Pages | ISBN: 0195115066 | PDF | 5 MB "Venturesome feminist," historian Nancy Cott's term, perfectly describes Susan Glaspell (1876-1948), America's first important modern female playwright, winner of the 1931 Pulitzer Prize for drama, and one of the most respected novelists and short story writers of her time. In her life she explored uncharted regions and in her writing she created intrepid female characters who did the same. Born in Davenport, Iowa, just as America entered its second century, Glaspell took her cue from her pioneering grandparents as she sought to rekindle their spirit of adventure and purpose. A journalist by age eighteen, she worked her way through university as a reporter. In 1913 she and her husband, fellow Davenport iconoclast George Cram "Jig" Cook, joined the migration of writers from the Midwest to Greenwich Village, and were at the center of the first American avant-garde. Glaspell was a charter member of its important institutions--the Provincetown Players, the Liberal Club, Heterodoxy--and a close friend of John Reed, Mary Heaton Vorse, Max Eastman, Sinclair Lewis, and Eugene O'Neill. Her plays launched an indigenous American drama and addressed pressing topics such as women's suffrage, birth control, female sexuality, marriage equality, socialism, and pacifism. Although frail and ethereal, Glaspell was a determined rebel throughout her life, willing to speak out for those causes in which she believed and willing to risk societal approbation when she found love. At the age of thirty-five, she scandalized staid Davenport when she began an affair with then-married Jig Cook. After his death in Delphi, where they lived for two years, she began an eight-year relationship with a man seventeen years her junior. Youthful in appearance, she remained youthful and undaunted in spirit. "Out there--lies all that's not been touched--lies life that waits," Claire Archer says in The Verge, Glaspell's most experimental play. The biography of Susan Glaspell is the exciting story of her personal exploration of the same terrain. |
