“It provides some critical insights to bridge the gap between the revolution of sustainability studies and the actual actions and practices that could be followed to stimulate these studies in order to create positive impact for the future generations. … this book could be a useful guide to sustainability researchers, professionals and practitioners. … this book represents an informative input to sustainability knowledge in HEIs that could be used to develop more critical research avenues in different university and organisations.” (Mohamed Saeudy, Environmental Development and Sustainability, Vol. 17, 2015)
