Those of us doing the work of sustainability and the transformation of communities feel grateful for Gary’s early and prescient contribution that has shaped the thinking of so many around the US and beyond. Essential reading for all green warriors! \u003cstrong\u003eJason F. McLennan\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eChief Sustainability Officer – Perkins \u0026amp; Will. Founder, Living Building Challenge. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1981 and now reissued with a new Preface by Gary J. Coates, \u003ci\u003eResettling America\u003c\/i\u003e was one of the first comprehensive, transdisciplinary books on the crisis of sustainability and the implications of that crisis for the re-design of buildings, towns, cities and regions. Through essays by Coates, which provide a theory of ecological design, and case studies written by leading authors and activists of the time, the book presents a strategic vision of how it would be possible to create a sustainable and livable society through a process of cooperative community development rooted in a radical re-visioning of nature, self and society. By providing a strategic vision, as well offering practical means for creating a sustainable society worth sustaining, \u003ci\u003eResettling America\u003c\/i\u003e remains more relevant and inspiring than ever to those who face the ecology of crises that now surround us in the 21st Century. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45566491721966,"sku":"9781032544892","price":193.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/resettling-america-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
