Reviews
I highly encourage students, faculty, and practitioners to read this book and distill for themselves the overarching lessons. Design With Nature Now is timely because it reintroduces us to an essential approach as we face another critical environmental and social justice inflection point., Ian McHarg would be heartened to see the range and quality of thinking he's inspired. Each of these essays will leave you with an enlarged sense of possibility, which is a great gift in a constrained world. -- Bill McKibben, Author, Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out ?, This exceptional book presents the enduring wisdom of Ian McHarg to a new generation. His insights, freshly interpreted in the pages of landscape designs and drawings, give me hope for the future of our planet., "[ Design With Nature Now ] is probably one of the most important volumes dedicated to design disciplines of the past century." ( Translated from Italian), "Like Ian McHarg's classic Design with Nature , this beautiful and fulsome reprise of his earlier work inspires us with its sheer virtuosity. Yes, it looks back at the pioneering work of McHarg but, much more, it elucidates contemporary challenges with boldness and precision. Human destruction and climate change are front and center, but so is dynamic planning and deep understanding of the places we inhabit and the ecological threats they face. A true manual for spaceship Earth!" -- Jerry Brown, Former four-term Governor, California, Design with Nature Now is a timely reminder that ecology is not something to be "remedied, fixed and transformed," as essayist James Corner puts it. . . It's a book that brings home the urgency of taking action--and leaves this reader with the inspiration to design better., Ian McHarg would be heartened to see the range and quality of thinking he's inspired. Each of these essays will leave you with an enlarged sense of possibility, which is a great gift in a constrained world., This exceptional book presents the enduring wisdom of Ian McHarg to a new generation. His insights, freshly interpreted in the pages of landscape designs and drawings, give me hope for the future of our planet. -- Bruce Babbitt, Former U.S. Secretary of the Interior, This collection of essays and projects should inspire any environmental policy maker, planner, or landscape architect to forge broader coalitions and act regionally and globally to save our fragile ecosystems and protect the future of humanity., Like Ian McHarg's classic Design with Nature , this beautiful and fulsome reprise of his earlier work inspires us with its sheer virtuosity. Yes, it looks back at the pioneering work of McHarg but, much more, it elucidates contemporary challenges with boldness and precision. Human destruction and climate change are front and center, but so is dynamic planning and deep understanding of the places we inhabit and the ecological threats they face. A true manual for spaceship Earth!
