Cities and Natural Process is a book for all concerned with the future of our cities; their design and sustainability; and our quality of life within them. Michael Hough describes how economic and technological values have squeezed any real sense of nature out of the modern city; the ways in which this has led to a divisive separation of countryside and city; wasted much of the citys resources; and shaped an urban aesthetic which is sharply at odds with both natural and social processes. Against this is set an alternative history of ecological values informing proven approaches to urban design which work with nature in the city.

WITHOUT DOVER BOOKS ID RUN OUT OF BORDER IDEAS - HARD-SOFT METAL OR WOOD; YOU CANT GO WRONGBy CustomerWithout some of these borders Id get lost for ideas after awhile - here are more than you can ever imagine using; and each one will line up so the border can be as long or short as you please; they even have corner elements show so you can turn the corner without blowing it. From hard metal to wood; youll find something here to please - and when used with other Dover Books; you cant go wrong! I do firearms engraving; but Ive used them on belt buckles with exceptional results -- I bet wood engravers would find a good use for these Dover Books as well .0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
