The Nature of Design (inscribed)
NY: Oxford UP, 2002. First edition. Hardcover. Second printing. Inscribed on the title page: "Stephen -- what a small world! New Wilmington to 2003, shared experiences and worlds. Best Regards, David W. Orr, 8-03." Uncommon signed. From the jacket: "The 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 change s how we provide food, shelter, energy, materials, and livelihood and how we deal with waste." Orr is an emeritus distinguished professor of environmental studies at Oberlin University, now a professor of practice at Arizona State University, and the author of nine books, including Hope Is An Imperative: The Essential David Orr from Island Press. Over the last decade or so he's turned his focus to the fight against climate change. His many honors include a Bioneers Award, a National Conservation Achievement Award by the National Wildlife Federation, and a Lyndhurst Prize "to recognize the educational, cultural, and charitable activities of particular individuals of exceptional talent, character, and moral vision." Very near fine with just a hint of sunning to lower board edges. In a fine jacket.
