| المراجعة التحريرية | We do not know yet what the transition from our increasingly precarious existence to something more durable and decent will require of us. But we do know that time is short, the stakes are virtually total, and the opportunities to do much better are numerous. Carl Bovill in Sustainability in Architecture and Urban Design outlines the severity of this problem and provides guidance toward solutions at the building and urban scales.' - David W. Orr, Counselor to the President, Oberlin College and Stephen A. Minter Fellow, the Cleveland Foundation, USA `Bovill's succinct introduction defines the thesis of his book. Bovill (Univ. of Maryland) argues that "Nature provides the pattern for a resilient sustainability" and "Creating ... a response to sustainability issues requires a broad understanding of the problem and a broad understanding of multiple solution paths." Through six parts and 32 chapters, he covers a broad range of topics, from the problem at hand to alternative energy sources for a sustainable future. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate, research, and professional collections.' - CHOICE, L. B. Allsopp, University of Oregon |
