Nature by Design: People, Natural Process and Ecological Restoration

摘要

Concerned with environmental longevity and sustainability, the scientific community has taken a very pragmatic approach to environmental matters. With the advancement of technology, ecological restoration has moved to the forefront as a solution for environmental concerns. In his book, Nature by Design, Eric Higgs writes about the issues surrounding ecological restoration while providing an analytical approach to environmental reparation. Higgs's main purpose is to define the components that successful ecological restoration should encompass. He goes beyond technology to explore the deeper relationship that exists between humans and the environment. In an attempt to develop a balanced approach to ecological restoration, Higgs delivers a purposeful combination of scientific and subjective views of restoration.
