The book presents the recent acceleration of human-introduced impact on the Planet Earth, which challenges the conceptual and theoretical frameworks of all disciplines, and their relations. This is especially the case in the exclusively human, society and culture-centered social, human, and educational sciences, and the political agendas they promote. The authors of the book prob- lematize their dependence on the concept of development - as sustainable development or green industries in education, governance, politics, and technology, and their isolation from natural sciences.
Although the book is aimed at an academic audience, it also opens to the general reader. The authorsmake visible the contra- dictions of environmental care and social progress between the Global South and North credibly and authentically.
