"Sustainable Investing" - "Sustainable and Responsible Investing" SRI) - "ESG Investing" -- no matter the title of the approach, this book will help you learn what you need to know to chart your course in the search for (yes, long-term) sustainable investments. There are 20+ experts contributing solid material to this book, edited by Cary Krosinsky and Nick Robins, two solid hands in SR investing. These include Steve Viederman, a long-time SRI portfolio manager and Steven Lydenberg, who at KLD helped to pioneer the style. You will learn what you need to know about the style, or discipline or approach (whatever you deem it to be, so much of this is still new to mainstream investors) to Sustainable and Responsible Investing (my choice for best description of the approach). As of year end 2009 there were $3.1 trillion invested through the SRI approach -- that's more than hedge funds manage. Is this an approach for you? The book will help you decide -- and chart your own course.

A fascinanting and well-written book by experts in the field.
People should read this book.
