An Introduction to Sustainable Development presents the concept and practice of 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 focusing on changing patterns of consumption, production, and distribution of resources. 
 The impact of globalization and the role of the private sector including multinational corporations are discussed. Case materials include domestic and international initiatives and projects; protection of coastal wetlands; development of community-based water supply and sanitation systems; sustainable energy, forest, and industrial development.

This is a story about three pirate captains who worked together during the Golden Age of Piracy. The tale of Captain Paulsgrave Williams is a shared story with that of Captain Samuel Bellamy and is largely covered in this book. Their partner in crime, Olivier Levasseur, was perhaps the most successful pirates in the Golden Age of Piracy if the estimate of his wealth includes all of his Caribbean and African exploits. Despite their partnership, Levasseur and Williams never made the Forbes' list of the Richest Caribbean Pirates while Bellamy did. The reason of course is simple. Sam Bellamy's ship, the Whydah, was wrecked and the vast amount of wealth was documented at trials of the survivors. There is little documentation of the wealth accumulated by Levasseur and Williams
