A Safe and Sustainable World: The Promise Of Ecological Design

[PDF] A Safe and Sustainable World: The Promise Of Ecological Design by Nancy Jack Todd at Arts-Photography

Description

Unrsquo;immersione nellrsquo;ordine e nel caos della natura organizzata dallrsquo;uomo in filari di pioppi con regolaritagrave; e geometrie che ricordano lrsquo;infinito. La Natura riprende il suo ruolo giocando con i rami e le luci modificando lrsquo;intento originario e trasformando questi luoghi in una cattedrale dove regna il senso della vita. Immagini e Meditazione egrave; una serie di pubblicazioni per chi vuole andare oltre alle convenzioni e al guardare quotidiano. Con esse intendiamo favorire lrsquo;emergere di una maggiore consapevolezza e facilitare una crescente frequenza drsquo;istanti magici; con lrsquo;auspicio che vi renderanno sereni e felici.

I was looking for specific examples of how an average person could design food production and waste management systems to createBy Glenn HarperAlthough the book is somewhat interesting. I was looking for specific examples of how an average person could design food production and waste management systems to create a "Safe and Sustainable World".What I got is a sort of biography of a non-profit and the people involved. Id have preferred drawings and diagrams and sources for various components to create a largely self-sufficient food/energy/waste system at my home.If you want to read in great detail about the history of the New Alchemy Institute and the people involved. this is your book. If you want detailed information about systems you can implement. keep looking.10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. The Evolution of an Important Ecology Research OrganizationBy BugsNancy Jack Todd eloquently relates the history of her and husband John Todds New Alchemy Institute (NAI) for ecological design starting in 1969 to the present day incarnation of Ocean Arks International. This book has many photographs and drawings showing systems. buildings both at their research facilities and installations around the world and many of the dedicated people who have worked with the Todds over the years.The original focus of their research was to develop sustainable organic food production. bioremediation. off-grid energy production. and efficient building construction methods for a virtual stand-alone closed-loop system capable of self-sufficiency without any toxic side-effects. especially. effluent. Through trial and error and much research they met their goals and became internationally recognized for the high state of efficiency their various systems achieved. NAI became a successful format and influence for many colleges to replicate on campuses all over the U.S. and abroad.Eventually. they turned their focus almost exclusively to natural effluent and pollution remediation techniques developing the "eco-machine" system that utilizes plants. micro-organisms and fish to convert sewage to re-usable water and fish for food production.The Todds contributions to solving many of the worlds toughest environmental problems and influence on ecological study cannot be understated. especially in the area of bioremediation. If every municipality. farm. and industrial site in the world were join the ranks of those who have already installed "eco-machine" type water purification systems to clean-up their toxic run-off. a huge chunk of global pollution could be eliminated.This book is a must have for all those interested bioremediation and that should be everyone- a clean environment requires it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
