It illustrates how the architecture of the industrial period reflects the fundamental changes in the way we have come to see nature.

Review
Reviews of the first edition:
'I can thoroughly recommend the late John Farmer's 'Green Shift' which
looks at how our changing views of nature has affected modern
architecture. For anyone interested in how we could create buildings
close to nature, 'Green Shift' is required reading.'
The Independent
'Green Shift is hugely valuable.'
Blueprint
'This book is clearly informed by a deep commitment to the idea that architecture has a crucial part to play in addressing the complex issues of global survival ... the book impresses in its erudition and scope.'
