“I highly encourage students, faculty, and practitioners to read
this book and distill for themselves the overarching
lessons. Design With Nature Now is timely because it
reintroduces us to an essential approach as we face another
critical environmental and social justice inflection point.”
*Larissa Larsen, Journal of the American Planning Association*
This collection of essays and projects should inspire any
environmental policy maker, planner, or landscape architect to
forge broader coalitions and act regionally and globally to save
our fragile ecosystems and protect the future of humanity.
*American Society of Landscape Architect's The Dirt*
"Like Ian McHarg's classic Design with Nature, this beautiful and
fulsome reprise of his earlier work inspires us with its sheer
virtuosity. Yes, it looks back at the pioneering work of McHarg
but, much more, it elucidates contemporary challenges with boldness
and precision. Human destruction and climate change are front and
center, but so is dynamic planning and deep understanding of the
places we inhabit and the ecological threats they face. A true
manual for spaceship Earth!”
*Jerry Brown, Former four-term Governor, California*
This exceptional book presents the enduring wisdom of Ian McHarg to
a new generation. His insights, freshly interpreted in the pages of
landscape designs and drawings, give me hope for the future of our
planet.
*Bruce Babbitt, Former U.S. Secretary of the Interior*
Ian McHarg would be heartened to see the range and quality of
thinking he's inspired. Each of these essays will leave
you with an enlarged sense of possibility, which is a great
gift in a constrained world.
*Bill McKibben, Author, Falter: Has the Human Game Begun
to Play Itself Out?*
"[Design With Nature Now] is probably one of the most
important volumes dedicated to design disciplines of the past
century." (Translated from Italian)
*Valerio Morabito, Topscape Magazine*
