Features: The book "War——" by Yamamoto Ryoichi reveals the fundamental causes of today's global environmental problems and points out the direction humans should strive for. It discusses the models, implementation methods, and principles of ecological design for environmental management in enterprises and service systems. While presenting an international map of ecological design, it also proposes strategies for achieving sustainable social and economic development based on the Earth's carrying capacity. Additionally, it introduces 100 case studies of corporate ecological design. The "Ecodesign Declaration," adopted at the "Ecodesign'1999" international conference and published at the beginning of the book, can be considered another milestone on the path to sustainable development. As summarized in the "Declaration," "As we move into the 21st century, there will be an increasing need for environmentally conscious design professionals. However, I believe that all design education should be based on ecological thinking and methods, including the study of scientific methods in fields such as biology, anthropology, human geography, or related disciplines. Social ecology, human ecology, philosophy, and logic should form the entirety of design education." The original version of this book was published in Japan in December 1999. It is rich in content, easy to understand, and covers a broad range of topics. It can serve as a textbook for managers, cadres, technical personnel, and designers in enterprises and industries committed to practicing environmental management, as well as a reference book for undergraduate and graduate students in various engineering and technological science fields, especially those aspiring to future careers in design and management. The book is highly readable, and anyone concerned with Earth's resources and environmental issues may become a passionate reader.
