About the Book
This book uses the concept of sustainability in science to address problems afflicting the environment, and to devise measures for improving economies, societies, behaviors, and people.
The book pursues a scientific approach, and uses scientific evidence as the basis for achieving sustainability. The key topics addressed include: unemployment, health and disease, unsustainable production, our common future, renewable energies, waste management, environmental ethics, and harmful anthropogenic activities.
Whereas past literature has mainly examined sustainability as an environmental issue, this book expands the conversation into various sciences, including mathematics, biology, agriculture, computer science, engineering, and physics, and shows how sustainability could be achieved by uniting these fields. It offers a wealth of information across various disciplines, making it not only an intriguing read but also informative and insightful.
“In the book, The Principles of Green and Sustainability Science, Akinsemolu provides a comprehensive and step-by-step guide to understanding sustainability. Beginning with the concept of going Green, the text explores far-reaching implications in the fields of computer science, engineering, physics, and more. The book offers empirical evidence and examines best practices to create a holistic approach to more harmonious living. This understanding of sustainability in the totality of its reach can allow nations and individuals to set, and hopefully to achieve, more appropriate sustainability goals.”

“This book demonstrates a person’s ability to bring about greater equilibrium in the environment. It lends credence to the international community’s clamor for integration of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) at national levels. It reflects a totality of integrated goals for environmental sustainability which drives global development. Akinsemolu’s allusion to individual contributions as a means to drive environmental sustainability and the resultant social, economic and environmental equipoise is indicative of the exceptional brilliance of this book which is suitable for institutions and individuals alike.”
