此書的引語 很直得參考

" For hundreds of years, all our upbringing, all our respect, has been devoted to education through the word, to understanding the word. Words flow out of us, in and over all of us! The word is loved before anything else. And the two arts that now sit in power over the world are those of the word and of technology.
How vain it is to speak with form. And yet - what inner pleasure ! colours, form; the triumph of the senses. The senses, not the brain's. The eye's, not that of reflection."

FROM RAGNAR OSTBERG'S ESSAY DEDICATED TO THE SWEDISHAUTHORS HJALMAR SODERBERG, 1919.

Description

The environmental movement has often been accused of being overly negative--trying to stop "progress." The Nature of Design, on the other hand, is about starting things, specifically an ecological design revolution that changes how we provide food, shelter, energy, materials, and livelihood, and how we deal with waste.

The book begins by describing the scope of design, comparing it to the Enlightenment of the 18th century. Subsequent chapters describe barriers to a design revolution inherent in our misuse of language, the clockspeed of technological society, and shortsighted politics. Orr goes on to describe the critical role educational institutions might play in fostering design intelligence and what he calls "a higher order of heroism."

Appropriately, the book ends on themes of charity, wilderness, and the rights of children. Astute yet broadly appealing, The Nature of Design combines theory, practicality, and a call to action.
