Reviews
Ecological Design is an important and useful addition to a growing knowledge base contributing to a "designed" sustainable future. Often books give us the data and others the vision, this book gives us both., A beautifully crafted and designed book that gives an excellent general survey of the breadth of ecological design initiatives worldwide. The multitude of photographs and illustrations - especially those that give a sense of construction details and technical aspects of selected projects - are especially helpful for students, or practitioners who wish to develop a basic technical understanding of various aspects of ecological design., Climate change, urbanisation and globalisation make Ecological Design extremely timely. A clear theoretical framework and an excellent choice of case studies from the best sustainable designs around the world make this book a scientific "bestseller" for academics, practitioners and students who are searching for guidance in creating resilient sustainable cities., The infomation and case studies in this book are so current and for me override any previous texts advised to read. The format provides students with a clear background in ecological design in an exciting and user-friendly format. I will be encouraging my students to buy this book as part of their personal library and adding it to my reading lists., This lively, engaging primer provides a succinct explanation of the value and the benefits of ecological design. The book includes numerous, colorful examples of how ecological design is being realized globally.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
