Description: "This book addresses some of the major questions and illustrates ways in which we can measure and model patterns of development and enquire into whether these are sustainable. It uses the results of four years of research into sustainable development in Scotland to provide a national case study. Many of the methods developed can also be applied to other advanced countries, especially in Europe and the OECD."--BOOK JACKET.
