The Rise of Living Architecture
"Gives voice to more than fifty extraordinary people who are currently engaged with this transformation.

They share a belief that they can make a difference through their varied efforts to expand living architectural approaches that result in biophilic, restorative buildings and healthier and more resilient communities."
A Short Stay in Hell
A damned man struggles to find meaning in a library, the dimensions of which are measured in light years.
Linking Industry and Ecology
The contributors to this volume draw on their experience in a variety of disciplines to explore the origins, promise, and relevance of the emerging field of industrial ecology. They situate industrial ecology within the broader range of environmental management strategies and concepts, from the practices of pollution prevention through life cycle management, to the more fundamental shift toward dematerialization and ecological design. Their work not only affirms what has been learned to date in this nascent field but also provides new insight by demonstrating that technologies are socially and politically embedded. This book makes a compelling argument for the need to think ecologically to develop innovative and competitive industrial policy.
Green Roofs in Sustainable Landscape Design
"Green Roofs defines the types of green roofs both extensive and intensive; introduces the vocabulary of green roofs; details the components available; describes the design and development process; lists recommended plant materials; and explains methods of installation, irrigation, and maintenance. Approximately 70 vivid and detailed case histories of major projects in Europe, where green roofs began, and contemporary examples throughout North America, copiously and beautifully illustrated with almost 400 images, make this book an invaluable guide to the state of the art."--BOOK JACKET.
Ecological Solidarity and the Kurdish Freedom Movement
Ecological Solidarity and the Kurdish Freedom Movement: Thought, Practice, Challenges, and Opportunities is a pioneering text that examines the ideas about social ecology and communalism behind the evolving political structures in the Kurdish region. The collection evaluates practical green projects, including the Mesopotamian Ecology Movement, Jinwar women’s eco-village, food sovereignty in a solidarity economy, environmental defenders in Iranian Kurdistan, and Make Rojava Green Again. Contributors also critically reflect on such contested themes as Alevi nature beliefs, anti-dam demonstrations, human-rights law and climate change, the Gezi Park protests, and forest fires. Throughout this volume, the contributors consider the formidable challenges to the Kurdish initiatives, such as state repression, damaged infrastructure, and oil dependency. Nevertheless, contributors assert that the West has much to learn from the Kurdish ecological paradigm, which offers insight into social movement debates about development and decolonization.
