Message-ID: <Chameleon.960306094804.rrc@415rrc.water.denver.co.gov> Date: Wed, 6 Mar 1996 09:47:25 PST From: "Robert R. Crifasi" <mailto:rrc@WATER.DENVER.CO.GOV> Subject: sustainable development literature To: Multiple recipients of list DEVEL-L <mailto:DEVEL-L@AMERICAN.EDU>
Some time ago,I sent out a message to this list asking readers for the references to articles and books on sustainability which readers of this list consider as benchmark or seminal to the field. I plan to use this as my spring reading list. (I guess I've got to take a speed reading course!) I used as an example:Bruntland, G.H., et al. 1987, Our Common Future: Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development.Oxford, Oxford University Press.
I want to thank all of you again for your help (you know who you are). Here is an unabridged list of your responces:
