Global Sustainability: A Compendium is a richly illustrated exploration of the forces shaping our planet’s future.

Written by McKinley Spexarth and James H. Egan, this book began as a college sustainability project and grew into a wide-ranging, intergenerational study of climate, energy, technology, and personal responsibility.

Through clear explanations, original artwork, infographics, and practical examples, the authors examine how Earth’s natural systems, human population growth, industrialization, fossil fuel use, and modern innovation all intersect in the global sustainability challenge.

The book explores rising temperatures, greenhouse gases, deforestation, transportation, residential energy, agriculture, plastics, tourism, data centers, artificial intelligence, renewable energy, carbon capture, reforestation, battery technology, passive housing, and future energy systems.

Rather than presenting sustainability as a single problem with a single answer, Global Sustainability frames it as an equation: rising environmental pressures must be balanced by innovation, responsible policy, technological progress, and individual action.

Accessible, visual, and thought-provoking, this book is designed for curious readers, students, educators, families, and anyone seeking a broader understanding of the environmental choices shaping the decades ahead.
