The top 50 sustainability books

The prestigious University of Cambridge Programme (translation: ‘Program’) for Sustainability Leadership has released their list of the top 50 books on Sustainability, chosen by their alumni.

This is a remarkable resource for anyone interested in catching up on their studies, or formalizing an opinion on today’s environmental issues.  I’m sure it would also be a great help in impressing hot babes at cocktail parties.

From the site:

Many of these authors have become household names in the environmental, social and economic justice movements, from Rachel Carson, Ralph Nader and E.F. Schumacher to Vandana Shiva, Muhammad Yunus and Al Gore. Others are relatively undiscovered gems, whose work should be more widely known, like Aldo Leopold, Thomas Berry and Manfred Max-Neef.

The books tackle our most vexing global challenges, including globalisation (e.g. Globalization and its Discontents, No Logo), climate change (e.g. Heat, The Economics of Climate Change) poverty (e.g. The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid, Development as Freedom) and China’s environmental legacy (The Rivers Run Black).

The link to the list (in pdf).
