Ecology and Design: Frameworks for Learning explains why design professors (primarlly in the landscape architecture field) should teach ecology as a standard part of their courses and provides exampies from professors who already teach ecology and design in this way. More academics are beginning to understand the need to teach students about ecology in the design fields, but materials to facillitate that teaching are lacking. Some professors give up due to lack of support from academic institution, resistance from students, and/or lack of materials. Although academics are beginning to see the importance of this approach, there are few books available on this subject. In addition, the contributors are some of the most respected and well-recognised names in the field.
