Sustainability thinking: the road ahead

Abstract:

When we started down the road to making this Companion book, we had mapped out a route, but knew not where the journey would take us. With the proofs in galley, we face V.S. Naipaul’s “Enigma of Arrival,” knowing that the larger journey has only just begun. However, if a lesson has emerged from these pages, it is the power of geographic metaphor for guiding our thoughts and actions regarding sustainability, most of them paradigmatic binaries in a dichotomy mindscape constructed in our Western thought. Geography, as the environmental science par excellence assimilates every aspect of who we are, and the spaces that we inhabit, providing a powerfully rooted blueprint for teaching and learning about sustainability. The connection between geography and sustainability is strong.
