{"product_id":"urban-consumption-op-peter-newton-9780643096875","title":"Urban Consumption [Op]","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrowth in human consumption is the transcending problem of our times. In the short span of 50 years, high income societies have shifted from an era when a 'simple life' was the norm to one where material consumption is pervasive. Consumption has become the engine for post-industrial societies. The liveability of cities in these societies is directly attributable to the consumption of resources - indirectly via their built environments and directly by their residents. This pattern of development is not sustainable. Nor is it equitable.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUrban Consumption\u003c\/i\u003e is an important book, exploring the prospect for winding back current levels of household consumption in high income societies, and covering such critical areas as energy, water, food, housing and travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Newton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0643096876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780643096875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CSIRO Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.60h x 8.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Peter Newton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50545990893823,"sku":"9780643096875","price":77.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dc4f528d-ca14-4bd2-9c53-62bdcc7cea68.jpg?v=1790534545","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/urban-consumption-op-peter-newton-9780643096875","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
