Throughout, the emphasis is on proven regenerative practices for water use, land use, energy use, and building design. Most importantly, it provides ways to reestablish connections between people and nature, between art and science, and between technology and daily life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCredits xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART I: RETHINKING THE MIND IN NATURE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Sustainability in the Neotechnic Era 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Science, Design, and Regeneration 19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Strategies for Regenerative Design 37\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART II: MEANS: REGENERATIVE TECHNOLOGY AND ITS APPLICATIONS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Energy: The Heart of the Matter 51\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Habitat, Culture, and Energy Flow 99\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Water: Going with the Flow 141\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Growth, Form, and Productivity 187\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8 Waste as a Resource 225\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART III: IMPLEMENTATION AND ITS IMPLICATIONS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9 Regenerative Systems in the Social Fabric 263\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10 Garden Communities in Gaia's Garden 281\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11 Economics, Policy, and Transition 307\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 321\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 331\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Architecture [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Architecture\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Architecture%20%5BAM%5D%22\"\u003eAM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52507262386456,"sku":"9780471178439","price":61.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471178439.jpg?v=1786441665","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/regenerative-design-for-sustainable-development-paperback-softback-9780471178439","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
