- Nature by design : the practice of biophilic design / by Kellert, Stephen R.,author.(CARDINAL)141816;
Includes bibliographical references and index.One Biophilia: The Nature of Human Nature -- Two: principles of biophilic design -- Three: The practice of biophilic design -- Four: Biophilic design applications -- Epilogue: The ecological and ethical imperative."Biophilia is the theory that people possess an inherent affinity for nature, which developed during the long course of human evolution. In recent years, studies have revealed that this inclination continues to be a vital component to human health and well-being. Given the pace and scale of construction today and the adversarial, dominative relationship with nature expressed by much building development, the integration of nature with our built environments is one of the greatest challenges of our time. In this sweeping examination, Stephen Kellert describes the basic principles, practices, and options for successfully implementing biophilic design. He shows us what is-and isn't-good biophilic design using examples of workplaces, healthcare facilities, schools, commercial centers, religious structures, and hospitality settings. This book will to appeal to architects, designers, engineers, scholars of human evolutionary biology, and-with more than one hundred striking images of designs-anyone interested in nature-inspired spaces."--- Subjects: Architecture; Architecture; Nature; Organic architecture.; Sustainable architecture.;

- Visual futures : exploring the past, present, and divergent possibilities of visual practice / by Bowen, Tracey,editor,contributor.; Caraway, Brett R.,editor,contributor.; Kinnear, Penny,contributor.; Peden, Elizabeth,contributor.; Navare, Charudatta,contributor.; Dudzik, Matthew,contributor.; Whitney, Marilyn Corson,contributor.; Caraway, Kylie,contributor.; Lanphar, Edie,contributor.; Fitzsimmons, Phil,contributor.; Thompson, Dana Statton,contributor.; Taschereau Mamers, Danielle,contributor.; Intellect (Firm),publisher.;
Includes bibliographical references."The overall subject of the book is visual culture. What sets it apart and gives it such an original emphasis is its multi-disciplinarity and the range of critical voices, ranging through film studies, architecture, creative practice, biology, pedagogy and media theory, which are brought to bear upon the question of visuality and its relationship to futurity. In our everyday lives, we navigate across a vast sea of visual imagery. Yet, we rarely pause to question how or why we derive meaning from this sea. Nor do we typically contemplate the impact that it has on our motivations, our assumptions about science and about other people, and our actions as individuals and collectives. This book is a collection of interdisciplinary perspectives, from science to film, from graffiti and virtual environments to architecture and education that examines the ways in which we interact and engage with the visual elements of our environments.

- The Cambrian explosion : the construction of animal biodiversity / by Erwin, Douglas H.,1958-(CARDINAL)325824; Valentine, James W.(CARDINAL)336415;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 355-397) and index.Historical and geological settings. The geological context of Ediacaran and Cambrian events ; The environmental context of the Ediacaran and early Cambrian -- The record of early Metazoan evolution. The Metazoan tree of life ; Dawn of animals : the Ediacara biota ; Metazoan architectures of the Cambrian explosion -- Biological processes. The origin and evolution of Metazoan ecosystems ; The evolution of the Metazoan genome and the Cambrian explosion -- Evolutionary dynamics of the Cambrian explosion. Ghostly ancestors ; Constructing the Cambrian -- Appendix: First appearances of major Metazoan clades in the fossil record."The Cambrian Period records one of the most extraordinary transitions in the history of life. Although animals may have first appeared nearly 700 million years ago, with the earliest sponges, their initial diversifications appear to have been modest until a richly diverse fossil fauna appeared relatively abruptly about 170 million years later. In The Cambrian Explosion, Erwin and Valentine synthesize research from many fields to explain why there was such remarkable novelty of animal forms"--- Subjects: Evolutionary paleobiology.; Paleontology; Biodiversity;
