Arguing that the central problem in conservation is a lack of effective communication, Bryan Norton shows in Sustainability how current linguistic resources discourage any shared, multidisciplinary public deliberation over environmental goals and policy. In response, Norton develops a new, interdisciplinary approach to defining sustainability-the cornerstone of environmental policy-using philosophical and linguistic analyses to create a nonideological vocabulary that can accommodate scientific and evaluative environmental discourse. Emphasizing cooperation and adaptation through social learning, Norton provides a practical framework that encourages an experimental approach to language clarification and problem formulation, as well as an interdisciplinary approach to creating solutions. By moving beyond the scientific arena to acknowledge the importance of public discourse, Sustainability offers an entirely novel approach to environmentalism. 606 $aEnvironmental policy 606 $aEnvironmental management$xDecision making 606 $aInterdisciplinary research 606 $aCommunication in science 606 $aSustainable development 610 $anature, wildlife, wilderness, environment, environmentalism, ecosystem, management, preservation, conservation, endangered, extinction, species, reserve, science, habitat, nonfiction, communication, linguistics, rhetoric, activism, politics, cooperation, adaptation, sustainability, discourse, debate, public opinion, pragmatism, positivism, uncertainty, mission, pluralism, values. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy. 615 0$aEnvironmental management$xDecision making. 615 0$aInterdisciplinary research. 615 0$aCommunication in science. 615 0$aSustainable development. 676 $a333.72 686 $aRB 10525$qSEPA$2rvk 700 $aNorton$b Bryan G$0856741 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785333003321 996 $aSustainability$93758945 997 $aUNINA
