Podrobnosti o e‑knize
In this beautifully illustrated work, Pietro
Laureano shares with us the fruits of more than a quarter of a century of
careful observation of traditional knowledge and techniques applied to urban
settlements and landscape resources management in all regions of the world. The
book introduces us to very sophisticated, thousand-year-old, capacities
developed by local communities and civilizations around the world, amongst
which water harvesting techniques, recycling of organic wastes and used waters
for soil fertility conservation or, in more general terms, the ecosystemic
approach to town planning, are anything but new! The volume is also the most
convincing illustration of the fact that, whereas modern technological
solutions rely on separation and specialization and for most of the time imply
the mobilization of external resources, traditional knowledge, which by its
very nature applies the principle of integration and uses internal renewable
inputs, has proved over time to be effective in the daily struggle of
civilizations against adverse environments and, more recently, against
desertification.
