examining their scientific basis, their history, and
society's response. The authors discuss sustainable
development and public policy in terms of how they shape
the present and future. Topics covered include
ecosystems and how they work; the human population;
renewable resources; energy; pollution and prevention;
and more. For anyone interested in environmental
science, environmental studies, and environmental
biology.
5. Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things
by William McDonough, Michael Braungart, Paperback: 208
pages, Publisher: North Point Press
A manifesto for a radically different philosophy and
practice of manufacture and environmentalism; "Reduce,
reuse, recycle" urge environmentalists; in other words,
do more with less in order to minimize damage. As
William McDonough and Michael Braungart argue in their
provocative, visionary book, however, this approach
perpetuates a one-way, "cradle to grave" manufacturing
model that dates to the Industrial Revolution and casts
off as much as 90 percent of the materials it uses as
waste, much of it toxic. Why not challenge the notion
that human industry must inevitably damage the natural
world, they ask. Elaborating their principles from
experience (re) designing everything from carpeting to
corporate campuses, the authors make an exciting and
viable case for change.Menu: Products>Book Store>Science Books>Environmental Science Books for College &
