Description

"Why are Ian McHarg's words so important for us today? For some, especially those who share a proclivity toward environmentalism, the answer lies in the clarity of McHarg's ecological message, delivered in a way both damning of anthropocentrism and in awe of nature and cosmic time. His humor, passion, and intelligence color already powerful rhetorical devices to make even the most disinterested reader pay attention. And his invocation of many different disciplines to form a collaborative and cross-disciplinary mode of understanding is both innovative and urgent, of interest to both academics and practitioners alike." -- James Corner (from back cover). Ian McHarg Conversations with Students: Dwelling in Nature, editors Lynn Margulis, James Corner, and Brian Hawthorne. Princeton Architectural Press, New York, 2007. ISBN: 1568986203.
