Sustainability: A Multidisciplinary Endeavour offers a comprehensive overview of the contributions of various disciplines to sustainability, along with possible synergies that could develop among them. The first part of the book covers sustainability science from each related scientific discipline, such as environmental science, engineering, and medicine and economy, highlighting cross disciplinary pathways. The second half of the book offers insights into how each of the green sciences relate to each other and to education on sustainability. This framework is ideal for scientists and researchers in adjacent areas of sustainability.

Über Autor(innen)

Mammino, Liliana
Liliana Mammino is emeritus professor of the University of Venda, South Africa. She joined the university in 1997 and, alongside teaching a range of general and physical chemistry courses, has worked hard to establish and promote the development of computational chemistry research across the region. After graduating from the University of Pisa, Italy, she went on to receive her doctorate from Moscow State University, Russia, before going on to teach chemistry at the National University of Somalia, University of Zambia, and National University of Lesotho.

Professor Mammino’s main research areas are computational theoretical chemistry and chemical education, with particular attention to green chemistry education, and she has published over 40 papers across these areas. She is a member of the IUPAC Subcommittee on Green Chemistry, national representative of South Africa in IUPAC Division III and, in 2013, she was one of the recipients of the IUPAC Award for Distinguished Women in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
