 Sustainability I consider this one of the best books around. Saving the planet, you betcha! It's very well written and clear on concepts. Full of sensible and practical information. I keep it out on the coffee table so friends who visit will catch on. Smart and not too preachy Some books in this genre can be a bit too full of themselves - this one offers a lot of intelligent thinking, examples of the authors' experience, and not too much else. Required reading This book should be required reading by all CEOs, and all engineering, architecture and design students. (I read it as a class assignment in Sustainable Interior Design). The author dismisses the idea that "ecological" has to equal "sacrifice" and points out that our problems will require more than band-aid type fixes. He proposes a radical rethinking of the way we approach design and manufacturing and backs it up with rational thought and real world examples. Despite its heft (literally, it weighs a ton because of the unusual paper stock), it's not a "heavy" read. It's very engaging and thought provoking. Highly recommended. Additional recommendations: watch the movie "Who Killed the Electric Car" Great bookI I'm a student so it's really hard for me to find time to read books that aren't required for a class. No time! Anyway, great book, easy to read and compelling ideas. Definitely recommended. | |||||||||||||
