'''''An Introduction to Sustainable Development''''' is a 2007 [[Earthscan]] book which presents [[sustainable development]] as a process that "meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". This textbook examines the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of sustainable development by exploring changing patterns of consumption, production, and distribution of resources. Case studies include coastal wetlands; community-based water supply and sanitation systems; and sustainable energy, forest, and industrial development.<ref name=auth>[http://www.earthscan.co.uk/?tabid=1415 An Introduction to Sustainable Development]</ref><ref>[http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/ROGINT.html An Introduction to Sustainable Development]</ref>
