Areas of emerging importance such as the economics of happiness and wellbeing stand alongside core topics including: Energy and society, Consumption and consumerism, Risk and resilience, Waste, water and land. Key challenges and applications are explored through international case studies and each chapter includes a thematic essay drawing on diverse literature to provide an integrated introduction to fundamental issues.
