Recovering America,
By candace gossen (portland, or USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Recovering America : A More Gentle Way to Build (Hardcover)
the latest book in Malcolm's many wonderful books is great. He is a great illustrator and writer especially his hand written text. I use this book as an introduction to all of my classes in sustainable architecture that I teach from middle school to university. It is clear, concise and addresses the issue of green spaces vs. urban evolution of the built environment. it is a quick read, very profound in its statement and makes a nice addition to the library.

This review is from: Recovering America : A More Gentle Way to Build (Hardcover)
What I enjoy most about Mr. Wells' books is his optimism. In Recovering America he first sets out and documents the environmental destruction of current building practices with photos taken from heliocopters. Yet this isn't a book stuck on just what's been destoyed. Each set of pictures showing paved over land is followed by either real life examples of a better, greener alternative or a water color print of forest life restored. In order for humanity to live in harmony with nature, I'd argue visionary ideas like the one contained in this book are essential to spurring society to change.
