JORDAN Fiscus
reviewed The Nature of Design: Ecology, Culture, and Human Intention on December 17, 2008 The Nature of Design
This is wonderful read about the state of our culture. David Orr has an excellent command of the English language and uses it to intelligently convey his arguments. He seeks to speak at you, rather than down to you. He touches on a variety of ideas how to revolutionize society to change. The chapters cover planning, wilderness, architecture, language, economy, and more. The chapter "Verbicide" provides a great argument on why we should seek to master our language. The last chapter titled "Loving Children" is the gripper and weaves together all his arguments and why we need to change.
As one reviewer on the back cover says, "If you are looking for a warm glow because you recycled your tine cans and sent a check to the Sierra Club, you better pick another book. These are urgent, impatient, absolutely realistic essays."
