Books

Edwards, Andres R. 2005. The Sustainability Revolution: Portrait of a Paradigm Shift. New Society Publishers, BC, Canada.

and either Hawken, Orr, or Pollan (or more than one if you are ambitious):

Hawken, Paul. 1993. The Ecology of Commerce: A Declaration of Sustainability. Harper Collins.

Orr, David W. 2004. Earth in Mind: On Education, Environment, and the Human Prospect. Island Press, 10th Anniversary Edition.

Pollan, Michael. 2007. The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals. Penguin Publishers.

I would suggest Hawken if private business is primarily of interest to you, Orr if the process and product of education are more of interest to you, and Pollan if sustainable food systems are of interest. All of these are available from online book sites such as Amazon.com and are often available, very economically, as used editions.

Other readings may be assigned during the semester.
