\"\"<\/a>
\nHealing Natures, Repairing Relationships<\/a> by Robert France brings together a leading group of distinctive voices to explore ideas underlying the restoration of environmental and human integrity in what pioneer restorationist Aldo Leopold once called our damaged \u201cworld of wounds.\u201d This emerging paradigm\u2014referred to by the editor as \u201cRestoration Design\u201d\u2014is defined as the process by which participants creatively develop physical and conceptual relationships to engage nature through the architectural transformation of their inhabited ecological space as well as their internal environments. In this collection of essays, restoration design is shown to be a comprehensive process involving elements of sociology, anthropology, philosophy, ecopsychology, environmental art, ecological science, and landscape architecture.<\/p>\n

Presenting emerging perspectives on environmental restoration, this collection of essays by a leading group of environmental scholars combines theoretical discussion with practical approaches. Describing the variety of ways that humans can and should interact with nature, this multi-disciplinary work shares hands-on exercises for engaging urban communities to develop supportive relationships with their surrounding environment. These writings define the paradigm of \u201crestoration design\u201d and the ways that its disciplines and actions can provide humans with a new direction for interrelating with the world in the 21st century.<\/p>\n
