Product Information

Jeffrey D. Sachs is one of the world's most perceptive and original analysts of global development. In this major new work he presents a compelling and practical framework for how global citizens can use a holistic way forward to address the seemingly intractable worldwide problems of persistent extreme poverty, environmental degradation, and political-economic injustice: sustainable development. Sachs offers readers, students, activists, environmentalists, and policy makers the tools, metrics, and practical pathways they need to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. Far more than a rhetorical exercise, this book is designed to inform, inspire, and spur action. Based on Sachs's twelve years as director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, his thirteen years advising the United Nations secretary-general on the Millennium Development Goals, and his recent presentation of these ideas in a popular online course, The Age of Sustainable Development is a landmark publication and clarion call for all who care about our planet and global justice.

Comprehensive and crystal clear--what we need to make sustainable development a reality, not a dream., A comprehensive introduction to the field of sustainable development by one of its leading scholars, advocates, and practitioners.... Recommended., The Age of Sustainable Development is my candidate for most important book in current circulation. Inspirational, encyclopedic in coverage, moving smoothly from discipline to discipline as though composed by multiple experts, Sachs explains why humanity must attain sustainability as its highest priority -- and he outlines the best ways to do it., Comprehensive and Crystal Clear-What We Need to Make Sustainable Development a Reality, Not a Dream., This terrific book stands out for its breadth, clarity, mastery of detail, honest discussion of complex matters, and its author's practical experience and good sense. It is actually ten terrific books under one cover because its accounts of economics, history, health, development, education, gender issues, food, climate change and biological diversity are among the best available. If you want to understand the modern world, and if you have room on your shelf for only one book, this is your book., The Age of Sustainable Development is both sobering and inspiring: sobering because it presents in great detail the unprecedented challenges facing mankind; inspiring because it assures us that we can meet those challenges, if only we summon the will to act., ...clear straightforward prose and a wealth of statistics...Sachs balances alarming forecasts with signs of progress..., Sachs Has Probably Produced the Best Book to Date on How to Manage the Planet for 10 Billion People., The Age of Sustainable Development is my candidate for most important book in current circulation. Inspirational, encyclopedic in coverage, moving smoothly from discipline to discipline as though composed by multiple experts, Sachs explains why humanity must attain sustainability as its highest priority--and he outlines the best ways to do it., There are very few authors that can so effectively rally the masses around an important cause -- one that in this case concerns our collective future. There are still too few leaders with knowledge about global sustainable development challenges to affect the scalable changes that are needed. Professor Sachs' book is a comprehensive summary of complex issues, but it breaks them down and makes them digestible and understandable while making the imperative clear. It will clearly contribute significantly in closing the gap between science and policy, and hopefully serve as a catalyst for action., The Age of Sustainable Development is my candidate for most important book in current circulation. Inspirational, encyclopedic in coverage, moving smoothly from discipline to discipline as though composed by multiple experts, the book explains why humanity must attain sustainability as its highest priority--and outlines the best ways to do it., A comprehensive and incisive overview of some of the biggest challenges facing the world today and further confirmation, if it were needed, that Jeffrey Sachs remains one of the most astute and authoritative observers of the age of sustainable development., As the concept of sustainable development comes of age, Jeffrey Sachs takes us on a journey from the intellectual and normative origins to the science of complexity which define today's development choices. In a compelling and often personal and engaged narrative, "The Age of Sustainable Development" reads like a 'looking glass' through which to glimpse the future - a future still characterised by more questions than answers as to how 9 billion will - together - govern the sustainable development of our planet., a perceptive, analytical, and hopeful book about the future...This landmark in economic publications presents a brilliant examination of major worldwide threats to the planet and puts forward ways to balance economic development and environmental sustainability to overcome those threats...It is a magnum opus; the chief source of information for any person interested in understanding what sustainable development is all about., Clear straightforward prose and a wealth of statistics.... Sachs balances alarming forecasts with signs of progress., an important, comprehensive and remarkably accessible book--a standout in a sea ofjargon-laden titles that fail to explain and vivify this enormously complex topic, An important, comprehensive and remarkably accessible book--a standout in a sea ofjargon-laden titles that fail to explain and vivify this enormously complex topic, There are very few authors that can so effectively rally the masses around an important cause--one that in this case concerns our collective future.

Professor Sachs's book is a comprehensive summary of complex issues, but it breaks them down and makes them digestible and understandable while making the imperative clear. It will clearly contribute significantly in closing the gap between science and policy, and hopefully serve as a catalyst for action., It is truly gratifying that an economist as distinguished as Jeffrey Sachs has authored The Age of Sustainable Development . His vast knowledge in the field and deep insights on various sectors of economic activity make him uniquely qualified to provide a view of the subject. Given the fact that almost a quartercentury has gone by since the Rio Summit of 1992, it is time for an authoritative volume such as the one Professor Sachs has authored for the benefit of global society., As the concept of sustainable development comes of age, Jeffrey Sachs takes us on a journey from the intellectual and normative origins to the science of complexity which define today's development choices. A compelling and often personal and engaged narrative, The Age of Sustainable Development reads like a "looking glass" through which to glimpse the future--a future still characterised by more questions than answers as to how 9 billion will--together--govern the sustainable development of our planet., It is, in my view, the best, most comprehensive and most articulate exposition of sustainable development ever written.... I would make this book compulsory reading for all politicians and business leaders., Jeff Sachs' admirable book explains what sustainable development means, why it matters, and our history in relation to our environment. It shows how the pattern of growth we have followed has placed intense strains on our planet and generated severe risks to our lives and livelihoods. Above all it explains clearly where we can go and how to get there. It describes a potential future of great attraction in terms of well-being, community and prosperity, properly understood. It should, and I hope it will, strengthen both the understanding of the great choices we face and the resolve to act. It is a splendid achievement., Jeff Sachs' admirable book explains what sustainable development means, why it matters, and our history in relation to our environment.

A very timely handbook to inform and empower all those who have a stake in the post-2015 debate on the future of our planet., A clear and cogent nontechnical survey of the world's major challenges beyond the preservation of peace and security., There are very few authors that can so effectively rally the masses around an important cause - one that in this case concerns our collective future.
