This is—as the title enlightens us—a handbook in sustainable development. This is not primarily a handbook for education for sustainable development (ESD—for that, you can find other handbooks). Neither is it only addressing scientific issues. Instead, it brings up four different dimensions of sustainability: institutional, environmental, social, and economic. Besides that, there are sections on the history as well as on the future of the field. So, why is it interesting for readers of Science & Education?
