      abstract = {This book addresses the current challenges of sustainable  development, including its social, economic and  environmental components. The author argues that we need to  develop a new concept of time based on inter-generational  solidarity, which focuses both on the long- and the short  term. The evolution of man's notions of time are analyzed  from prehistory to modern times, showing how these concepts  shape our worldviews, our ecological paradigms and our  equilibrium with our planet. Practical approaches to  dealing with the major medium- and long term sustainability  challenges of the 21st century are presented and discussed.  This is a thought provoking and timely book that addresses  the main global socioeconomic and environmental challenges  facing the current and future generations, using  science-based analysis and perspectives. It presents an  historical narrative of the advent of progress, economic  growth and technology, and discusses the structural changes  needed to co-create sustainable pathways. It provides hope  for our future on Earth, mankinds common home. António  Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations.},
