DESCRIPTION:Lucia Athens talks about her book: The Sustainability Revolutionists: 
 Heroes and Hope for Our Common Future.\n\nThis book is for you if, like 
 thousands of others, you have realized that sustainability's moment has 
 finally come. Shifting our world from its current unsustainable path will 
 require a revolution of hearts, minds, and bodies. It will take people from 
 every corner of the planet, at every level, from the grass roots to those 
 in power, to be a part of the change. Hope is one of sustainability's 
 critical components. The book delivers a greater sense of optimism about 
 our ability to achieve a sustainable future.\n\nOne of our biggest 
 challenges is that there are still many among us who are left out of the 
 story. This book offers up sustainability as an integrative, inclusive 
 concept, reliant upon solutions that address and balance environmental, 
 social, and economic needs. These three key pillars represent the widely 
 recognized framework for sustainability, and the book's central organizing 
 concept.\n\nAthens describes herself thusly: I have been writing about and 
 working on urban sustainability and green building for over 20 years. I was 
 a member of the City of Austin Green Builder program team when it was first 
 getting started back in the early 90's, and later led the City of Seattle's 
 green building initiative for ten years. I have been at the forefront of 
 public sector leadership in sustainable development policy and incentives. 
 My first book, Building an Emerald City published by Island Press, shares 
 practical tips on establishing. I call myself a "practical idealist" in 
 that I excel at building a vision, enrolling others in the sustainability 
 movement, and grounding all of this in practical steps for change.\n
