John Lyle has written the best book now available on the theory and practice of sustainability . . . essential reading for natural resource professionals, architects, planners, educators, environmentalists, and the general public.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eDavid W.

It is itself exemplary, and it is a repository of exemplary adaptations. It has carried the environmental movement to a new threshold of ecological planning and design. It should be widely read and employed.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eIan L.

In general, there are far too few land planners, landscape architects, or architects who have any working procedure that approximates what sustainable design entails. This book provides important historical background and contemporary experience to help guide the way.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003ePliny Fisk III, Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom the despoliation of our rivers and lakes by industrial runoff to the destruction of our atmosphere by sulphur emissions and CFCs, production cycles based on a one-way flow of materials and energy have pushed us to the brink of environmental collapse. It is time for a change, and in this groundbreaking book, John Tillman Lyle offers us a blueprint for implementing that change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book provides civil engineers, architects, land development planners, and others with practical, realistic approaches to reversing this deadly course. 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\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJOHN TILLMAN LYLE,\u003c\/b\u003e FASLA, acknowledged as one of the world's foremost authorities on environmental design and regenerative systems, is a professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture at the California State Polytechnic University at Pomona.
