Matson, Pamela; Clark, William and Andersson, Krister. (2016). Pursuing Sustainability: A Guide to the Science and Practice.
Dr. Andersson, along with co-authors Pamela Matson and William C. Clark, has published: “Pursuing Sustainability: A Guide to the Science and Practice”, Princeton University Press, March 2016. Described as “A primer for students and practitioners who are seeking a more systematic and comprehensive platform on which to base their pursuits of sustainability”, the book explores frameworks and approaches for understanding, analyzing, and effectively engaging in sustainability challenges, addressing the question of how to achieve sustainability, presenting that the ultimate determinants of intergenerational well-being should be thought of as the stocks of assets on which people now draw and will draw in the future to subsist and improve their lives – stocks that include natural, social, manufactured, human, and knowledge capital.
