According to this approach, in the book design work there were invited to contribute with their high level of expertise on 27 important topics 70 distinguished researchers from 17 countries in 4 continents, specializing across the border of many areas, fields and disciplines. The book is prefaced by the distinguished thinker on sustainability and eco-development issues, Prof. Gunter Pauli.
