The work focuses on three ancient cultures - the Maya, the Mogollon, and the Moche - that exhibited extended periods of sustainability in markedly different environments. The text also discusses contemporary implications of these ancient sustainability insights. A decision key is used to rank ancient factors of sustainability for the three selected cultures as essential, major, or minor. A formula instrument provides an overall numerical sustainability score for each society during particular time periods. A number of intriguing conclusions and recommendations are made by the author concerning ancient sustainability and the modern applications of some of the uncovered factors. The author suggests that a common ideology, a general adaptability to major change, and a socioeconomic system that rewards value production from all its citizens be recognized as three important factors of contemporary sustainability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Tueth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639160177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639160178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Matthew Tueth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446280040703,"sku":"9783639160178","price":63.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_beaf1910-c000-4e7d-8f91-9afa3d7c5d40.jpg?v=1777223689","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sustainability-factors-in-pre-columbian-societies-matthew-tueth-9783639160178","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
