Sustainability Indicators A Scientific Assessment

Description: To improve the efficiency of listing items on eBay, we provide many photos with each listing of the exact product we’re selling, rather than writing out excessive details. We will make note of any potential issues that are not obvious from the photos. PLEASE visually inspect the photos for this item prior to purchase. 📖🔍👀 ***NOTES ON CONDITION*** Publication’s overall condition: very good (light wear and rubbing on edges/corners Type: trade paperback Cover (overall): some wear and rubbing along edges and corners Binding health: excellent Cigarette smoke damage: none Water/moisture damage: none Paper health: excellent Writing/highlighting: none detected ***REGINALD’S RULES*** You work hard for your money! Don’t risk purchasing from a seller who can’t be bothered to upload more than a stock photo, one or two poorly framed and blurry photos, or who drowns their images in filters to hide flaws. You deserve nice things! ✨📚✨We ONLY upload original photos with every listing. We NEVER use stock images, photo filters, photoshop or AI. We NEVER adjust the contrast or colors to hide flaws or fading. We CAREFULLY package every purchase to ensure it arrives safe and sound ***SHIPPING & HANDLING*** We are a small business but we try to keep our shipping and handling expenses to a minimum. However, it is important to us that your book arrives safe and sound. To cut down on waste, we reuse CLEAN shipping materials to help secure and protect items. Handling: We make sure every item sold is safely secured in its envelope or box by using cushioning materials, such as padded envelopes or bubble wrap. For paperback or thin items, we use rigid cardboard to prevent it from being bent or folded. We also include instructions on our packages not to bend or fold, and specify the contents are a paper item.Shipping: We typically ship via USPS Media Mail or First Class Large Envelope. If neither of those options are available, we use USPS ground. Turnaround: Do you hate it when sellers print shipping labels to mark an order as shipped, but then it sits around for a week? So do we! We don’t print shipping labels until your product is ready to ship. We ship most orders within one business day but never more than two. —- Partial table of contents: List of Figures, Tables, Boxes, and Appendices Foreword: Finding the Right Indicators for Policymaking Preface Acknowledgments 1.
