"This is world-leading work - the team deserves the loudest acclamation possible." – Barry J. Grear, AO President 2006, World Federation of Engineering Organizations

"Anyone interested in the practical details of building a bright green future needs to read this book. It's an absolutely critical overview of our progress towards sustainability thus far, 500+ information-packed pages on what's working best... This is a book I'll be coming back to again and again." – Alex Steffen, WorldChanging.com

"This volume pulls together thirty of the top thinkers in sustainability for a provocative and stimulating journey that happens to be easy to read. The industrialized world... needs to focus not just on sustainable development but also on 'sustainable re-development', which would shift the focus from solving environmental problems to eliminating them." – Cynthia D. Churchwell, Harvard Business School

"A must-read for anyone serious about understanding the global phenomenon and trend of sustainable development. This comprehensive and well-documented book shows specific examples of how sustainable innovation can and needs to transform our globally linked society and economy." – Karen Wan, GreenPlants Program Director, Chicago Manufacturing Center

"What I found in reading the book was how the pursuit of sustainable development, whether on a small scale in domestic organizations or on a national or international scale, is no walk into the unknown. In a host of areas solutions already exist and are being implemented around the world by companies, governments and by social groupings. All this the book provides through relevant and successful solutions." – Sir Ninian Stephen, Former Governor General of Australia

"It is a great book following up on findings we published in Factor Four and linking it all to the business community... I shall quote Hargroves and Smith." – Prof. Dr. Ernst Von Weizsacker, author of Limits to Privatization and Factor Four

"It is widely understood that we must shift towards a sustainable future, and increasingly it is agreed that in order to do so we must move beyond rhetoric and into hard-edged, pragmatic forward steps. This book is a vital contribution to that forward movement, and I commend it to you." – Steve Morton, Group Chair, Environment and Natural Resources, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO)
