| McDonough & Baumgarten have re-envisioned how companies might redesign their manufacturing processes to actually leave the environment better than they found it. And create better products in the end, products that people will want to buy because they are well-designed.
What I love about this book is that their vision is mostly a PRIVATE sector solution. They believe that business is the solution, not the problem. They say entrepreneurs are the ones best suited to develop creative solutions to ... Read More: |

| Every once in a while a book comes a long that has such a profound effect on society that it creates a movement for awareness and betterment. Rachel Carson's book, Silent Spring, is one of those. Silent Spring did for the environmental movement what Upton Sinclair's The Jungle did for the labor movement and Uncle Tom's Cabin did for the anti-slavery movement. Carson took a stand on environmental abuses, especially against the chemical industry in this work of social criticism. Carson opened the eyes of many and ... Read More: |

| The lesson that gets taught over and over again without being "learned" very well is the effects of "unintended consequences". This book includes examples of that. Rachel Carson was correct about DDT, however the overzealous implementation of her ideas has led to the hardship of millions wherever malaria is endemic. One should not be gleeful that some of the global warming hyperbole is poked in this book, because there are important nuggets of truth within the PRO environmentalist views. Sometimes I see pollution issues being mixed ... Read More: |

| I really liked the premise and thought that Kunstler developed it in an interesting way. I like the idea of regaining our humanity and perspective through less technology, more direct human interaction, and a reengagement with nature. That said, I think Kunstler would have been better off making this into a short story instead of a full-length novel. I thought it got a little silly towards the end, and the catalogue of Robert Earle's sexual encounters seemed to pander a bit to our baser insticts. Also, the excursion to Albany struck ...
