The final piece was presented in the lobby of the Lamar Dodd School of Art new building on March 25, 2009.
This book is a process of the project Recycled Socks. The purpose of designing this book is to record the process of artwork, to share it as education and to distribute it as a journal.< Less
Green computing is the environmentally responsible use of computers and related resources. Such practices include the implementation of energy-efficient central processing units (CPUs), servers and... More > peripherals as well as reduced resource consumption and proper disposal of electronic waste (e-waste).
But IT is still responsible for 2% of all carbon releases, and it’s coming from many sources. Fast memory for instance is getting to be a surprisingly high energy consuming item.
This is a great book as it highlights Green IT in a clear and compelling way and shows how, really, the business case for sustainability has been largely proven. This is a quality, believable business book that will help especially managerial staff understand this topic in biz terms most known to them.< Less

The worldwide increase in emphasis on sustainability and the environment necessitates a holistic examination of how highways and pavements can be designed, constructed, operated, maintained,... More > preserved and recycled in a more economically, environmentally, and socially sound manner. Rapidly depleting natural resources, anthropogenic climate change implications and increasing financial pressures are some crucial challenges today’s and tomorrow’s transportation engineers are faced with. A better understanding of the art and science of sustainable highway and pavement engineering will equip them to effect positive economic, environmental, and social change while balancing competing interests.
Sustainable Highways, Pavements and Materials provides introductory and yet up-to-date coverage of latest technologies, practices and initiatives related to the contemporary application of sustainability principles during all phases of a pavement’s life cycle.< Less
This is the story of the Recycled Garden of 2012 San Francisco Flower and Garden Show. It won the People's Choice award voted by the show's attendees, and the Best Garden Award voted by the fellow... More > garden exhibitors. This is a book of pictures, telling the fascinating story of how this garden installation was created by Brent Sumner and a team of artists. The hardscape for the Recycled Garden is constructed and sculpted from recycled and found materials. Darjit, an earth friendly sculpting compound, is used to make the main sculpture: a 20 ft long dragon. Much of the garden is a hanging garden, suspended from a tower constructed with weathered wood and scrap metal. This book is a visual following of the artists as they bent, welded and sculpted their way to the 2012 San Francisco Flower and Garden Show, and in the process created the “bones” for a one-of-a-kind garden.< Less
