The History of Sustainability The Origins and Effects of a Popular Concept

Edmund A. Spindler ()

A chapter in Sustainability in Tourism, 2013, pp 9-31 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Rarely has a concept gained status as rapidly or with such profound implications as the term ‘sustainability’. Within a relatively short period of time it has become a loose/rather nebulous metaphor for describing current issues. A rather unwieldy, catch-all term, it can be found across a wide range of topics.
