Summary: A Designer's Must Read
Review: As a design student, I found this to be among the best design titles I have read to date. The book is inspiring, offering practical suggestions for adding sustainable principles to any design project. It is also eye-opening, exposing readers to successful design from a myriad of cultures. Papanak also explores the benefits of design education for everyone, and provides examples of successful design for every point he brings up. Every page seems to inspire a new design idea. This title is a must for every designer and design student.

Summary: Eye-candy. Needed more aggressive editing
Review: The Green Imperative is a beautiful book. Many pictures. Very high quality paper. I found it difficult to read as a serious book as there are places where politics supercede accuracy. "within seven and a half years the entire energy needs of the world could be supplied by...solar panels...Super-conducting cables *would* carry the power to areas with less sunlight." emphasis mine, page 43 "Finnish design... 22mm rifle.." .22 caliber (inch), perhaps? page 52 Also, a blithe treatment of the issue of economics "the timber industry generally refuses to engage in selective harvesting from multi-species mature forests..." page 36 This book could have brought Greens and industry closer together. Rather, it gives Greens more "evidence" of an anti-environmental conspiracy.
