"When nature inspires our architecture-not just how it looks but how buildings and communities actually function-we will have made great strides as a society. Biophilic Design provides us with tremendous insight into the ''why,'' then builds us a road map for what is sure to be the next great design journey of our times."<br/> -Rick Fedrizzi, President, CEO and Founding Chairman, U.S. Green Building Council<br/><br/> "Having seen firsthand in my company the power of biomimicry to stimulate a wellspring of profitable innovation, I can say unequivocably that biophilic design is the real deal. Kellert, Heerwagen, and Mador have compiled the wisdom of world-renowned experts to produce this exquisite book; it is must reading for scientists, philosophers, engineers, architects and designers, and-most especially-businesspeople. Anyone looking for the key to a new type of prosperity that respects the earth should start here."<br/> -Ray C. Anderson, founder and Chair, Interface, Inc.<br/><
