Taking Sides: Clashing Views in Sustainability 2nd Edition

The book is very good the only reason why I'm not giving this a 5 stars is because the book stinks literally. It smells like it was in a closet of black and mild blunt

Good book for read if you are interested. Seller was nice and fast with accurate product description.The writers in the book and different issues sometimes go off topic. So that is why i gave 4 star...butthe seller and everything else was awesome. Thanks

Needed for a class... book was in nice condition

I used this as a required textbook in a 'Global Development and Sustainability' course which I've co-taught 2 semesters so far with another professor. I consider this to be an excellent book that helps the students (and me) understand the divergent views on multiple topics related to sustainability.

The Questions weren't related to the articles that Taylor compiled. As much as I wanted to relate the articles to the broader scope of the question, many skirted around the main issue presented. Thoroughly unhelpful and frustrating.

The book is an excellent text for getting discussion flowing among students or it can be used by a community that would like to inform themselves on sustainability issues. It reflects a balanced approach to today's most challenging environmental issues. Readers who want to see both the pros and cons of a topic, so they can be ready to defend their position will enjoy the format. There are concrete examples to illustrate each position.

I needed this for my University course. It was pretty useful and had some interesting topics in there. The delivery was fast.
