Biologic: Designing With Nature to Protect the Environment
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Since "Biologic" first appeared, it has received widespread praise from architects, planners, and environmental consultants, as well as concerned citizens for its balanced, well-reasoned approach to raising our collective environmental consciousness. Its premise is that we must all consider the environmental consequences of our individual and community actions in everything from the simple tasks of our daily lives to the construction techniques of major developments. In addition to thinking logically, we must learn to think biologically.

David Wann is a policy analyst for the Environmental Protection Agency and has previously worked as a public information officer with the EPA and as a water quality specialist for the city of Denver. He has published numerous articles in magazines and newspapers. He has produced and/or written scripts for eight environmental videos on architecture, agriculture, transportation, energy, and hazardous wastes. Several of these programs have received extensive television play, illustrating to a diverse audience the central role that design plays in our quality of life.
Wann has a Master's degree in environmental science from the University of Colorado. He has taught at the college level, worked with grassroots groups, and directly experienced the environment by getting his hands into his garden soil. "That's been my real environmental education," he says. "When you genuinely understand how one ecological system works, you can intuitively know others by extension."
