'Wood's timely intervention into the politics of sustainability is a breath of fresh air in the current rhetoric of fundamentalist cliches. His personal vision for long-term solutions to the pressing need for action, that centuries of opportunism and expediency now present us with, are original and insightful. This book's great virtue is that it is driven by an idealist passion that remains grounded in Wood's reflections on his experience of the 'every day'...Its final call for new categories and ideas, rather than reactive prohibitions, offers one of the few books on sustainability that does not leave the reader in a slough of dispair.' Michael Punt, Editor-In-Chief, Leonardo Reviews. 'That rare and invaluable commodity, a book that spells out the reality of our current global predicaments but gives room for optimism and a design plan for delivery. As a natural polymath, Professor Wood is one of the only people who could write such a visionary yet practical book.' Professor Martin Woolly, Director of Research, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London.
