Design Is the Problem: The Future of Design Must be Sustainable
For those who are currently responsible for planning, researching, and crafting tangible products or services, this book will prove as an invaluable desk reference on how to incorporate systems thinking and considerations of sustainability into their project's business processes. --The Designer's Review of BooksThe book is rounded out with real world examples that are sprinkled throughout, along with specifics about making sustainable processes a measurable reality, and a useful selection of resources. Nathan's accessible writing keeps the book from becoming a dry textbook and his points are well-researched & applicable to people with a wide range of knowledge and interest in sustainability. A truly useful guidebook, this should definitely be in the hands of anyone interested in the impact their work is having on the world. --Another Limited RebellionI would wholeheartedly recommend this book to the members of the design community, be they professionals, students, or interested lay people. Moreover, people who have a general interest in sustainability and not so much in design itself, will also find valuable information, ideas, and pointers to resources in the book. Even though the book was intended as an introduction to a complex topic with the focus on promoting sustainability in an organization, it contains many valuable practical tips for designing more sustainable products. --SAP Design Guild
