The Nature of Design: Ecology, Culture, and Human Intention David W. Orr
 Book DescriptionThe environmental movement has often been accused of being overly negative--trying to stop "progress." The Nature of Design, on the other hand, is about starting things, specifically an ecological design revolution that changes how we provide food, shelter, energy, materials, and livelihood, and how we deal with waste.
