Human technological capability and needs mean that nature is and will be challenged and damaged in many ways. Whilst many social and technological innovations are being made to improve our survival prospects, they are likely to be insufficient to avoid continued social and ecological stress and the prospect of global tension if significant changes do not come about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ideas in this book offer a new solution to sustainable development problems. They are concerned not with what we know but how we know, or rather how we order knowledge and create understanding in the human world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book shows that some of the fundamental practices that shape modern society, especially in the business world, are the unwitting cause of unsustainable development. By extrapolating the epistemic analysis of Michel Foucault, a major social scientist, this book identifies a new episteme. It outlines a new way of ordering knowledge that better serves sustainable development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pioneering book synthesizes the sciences of human and natural worlds and applies the findings to the creation of sustainable business models and equitable lifestyles for all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eApproach:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust Business\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural Momentum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccounting Constructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Societies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eModern Times:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassive Nature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModern Knowledge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare-Peg Business\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePrimal Knowledge:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreaking Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Primal Episteme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimal Wisdom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimal Business\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eConsequences:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eResistance \u0026amp; Assistance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Graduate students in sustainable business, CSR and environmental sciences; social and natural scientists; business professionals and accountants.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136910213360,"sku":"9789814405164","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814405164_p0.jpg?v=1763691002","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814405164","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
