Sustainability in the 21st Century, one of six titles in the Environmental Science for Students series, introduces viewers to the guiding principle of sustainability: i.e., being able to provide for the world's current needs without sacrificing the abilities of future generations to provide for themselves. Featuring sound bytes from a multicultural selection of environmental scientists and international conservationists, this well-produced program offers a thorough overview of sustainability—taking the viewpoint that our requirements for environmental preservation can be balanced with economic development—using global real-world examples (from the biodiversity of rainforests to the “smart growth” plan of Portland, OR) to illustrate key concepts such as ecological footprint, carrying capacity, population density, and suburban sprawl. Other titles in the series include Air Quality, Global Climate Change, Green Energy, Soil Quality, and Water Quality. Combining snappy editing, solid graphics, and relevant vocabulary words, this is highly recommended. Aud: I, J, H, P. (E. Gieschen)
