Sustainability is a powerful force that is fundamentally reshaping humanityrsquo;s relationship to the natural world and is ushering in the Age of Integration. The move from well-intentioned environmental friendliness to the higher bar of integral sustainability and regenerative design demands a new type of design professional; one that is deeply collaborative; ethically grounded; empathically connected and technologically empowered. As a response; this book argues for a great leap forward in design education: from an individualistic and competitive model casually focused on greening; to a new approach defined by an integral consciousness; shaped by the values of inclusivity and cooperation; and implemented by a series of integrative behaviors including: an ethically infused design briefa co-creative design processon-going value engineeringpre-emptive engineeringdesign validation through simulationon-line enabled integrated learningthe use of well vetted rating systems. This book contains the integral frameworks; whole system change methodologies and intrinsic values that will assist professors and their students in an authentic and effective pursuit of design education for a sustainable future.

I had gotten the book for one of my piano students who loves the musical; but she would only be able to play a very few of the songs even though she is in Level 5 of Alfreds. I decided to give the book to my married daughter to enjoy instead and found a couple of the selections in an Alfreds level 5 piano solos book to give to my student. I do wish these music publishers would let us have a look at the music before we buy. That would certainly help to let the buyer know if it will be challenging; just right; or too easy. I agree that the bass clef was a little boring; but you can always improvise. For those of you who arent sure; let me tell you that most of the songs (not all) have 4-5 sharps or up to 5 flats. "Think of Me" starts off with 2 Sharps; then moves into 3 flats. "Angle of Music" starts with 2 flats; moves into 5 flats; then back to 2 flats; moves to 5 sharps; and ends with 2 sharps. This gives you a good idea how the songs move throughout the book. If you like a challenging book; then you will enjoy this one--unless of course you are a concert pianist--then look for one with more difficulty.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fun; a must for fansBy Dannis the MannisIts fun to play. I dont really know how to classify myself as a piano player - I really only play the treble clef; and usually with both hands. The bass is always unexplored territory. In that respect; for someone like me: many songs wouldnt be played correctly considering the majority of some pieces would be played in bass.In this book; that is not the case. Possibly the easiest piece to play is "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again"; or perhaps "Angel of Music"; and not really because they have few sharps or flats; but because it can be so repetitive. The same could be said about "Point of No Return"; but it contains a lot more sharps and flats.I love the musical; and the movie as well; but I was a little disappointed that the finale wasnt printed here. "Down Once More/Track Down This Murderer"; to my knowledge; isnt available - and to me; its the most powerful arrangement. Thats really the only reason I have to subtract a star.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I love the arrangementsBy Teri C.I love the arrangements. True; some parts dont have much going on with the left hand but it doesnt detract from the fullness of the beautiful melody. My favorite book; and I have a lot of books. I LOVE 9 of the 12 songs. The right level of difficulty for amateur musicians to be able to master all the songs in the book
