It describes how data and information collected by various institutions, government agencies, and the private sector can be integrated with existing management structures to transform the \"continuous growth\" economy into an economy that functions within understandable boundaries on a finite planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eStimulates discussions of the feasibility of a biophysical economy.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses the historical developments of biophysical economics.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers a practical approach to building a biophysical economy.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores the human experience of living in a biophysical economy.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmphasizes the fragility of life in the Universe as we know it.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is an excellent resource for academics and students studying sustainable development, as well as for professionals working in the private sector and public institutions with an interest in economic planning for a sustainable future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven M.
