Description and Table of Contents
Description
This work is about the often conflicting relationship between nature and technology in our everyday lives and landscapes.The book investigates landscape as a collage resulting from unchecked technological determinism colliding with an affection for nature and the effect that sustainability can have on this process. The author welds together theory from psychology, sociology, planning, ecology, and communications, into a vision that addresses the growing unease with the western world's technological dependence. The text offers specific examples of how technological systems might be reconfigured in the future.
