I'm re-reading this prior to attending the Biologists at the Design Table workshop at the Biomimicry Institute in Montana.
Ahh, this is such a classic and an amazing text. I used the 4th ed. in AP Bio in high school, and that knowledge served me just fine in college biochemistry. Couldn't find a picture of the fourth though, I guess they're up to the 7th now... anyway, dusting off the tome to brush up on some topics before BaDT.
Ray Anderson, CEO of Interface, Inc., writes about this carpet company's amazing transformation into one that is trying to become sustainable. Interface has an amazing clean technology as well as sustainable business model and value proposition. Many thanks to Dianne Dillon-Ridgley for having Ray send me a copy of his book.
A must-read for anyone remotely interested in humanity's place on Earth. Read it slowly; then read it again.
A fantastic manifesto and practical guide to a new, sustainable political and industrial ethic. It's certainly thick though.
I'm sorry to say that the readings on political philosophy have been placed on the back burner, as expanding my knowledge of sustainability and related topics has come to the forefront.
