Nature By Design: People, Natural Process

          and Ecological Restoration (2003) MIT Press

Ecological restoration is the process of repairing human damage to ecosystems. It involves reintroducing missing plants and animals, rebuilding soils, eliminating hazardous substances, ripping up roads, and returning natural processes such as fire and flooding to places that thrive on their regular occurrence. I argue that profound philosophical and cultural shifts accompany these projects, and explore the question of what constitutes good ecological restoration.

Technology and the Good Life (2000)

          University of Chicago Press
Eric Higgs, Andrew Light, David Strong (eds)
Can we use technology in the pursuit of a good life, or are we doomed to lives organized and priorities set by the demands of machines and systems? How can philosophy help us to make technology a servant rather than a master? Technology and the Good Life? uses a careful collective analysis of Albert Borgmann's controversial and influential ideas (which it also summarizes) as a jumping-off point from which to address questions such as these about the role and significance of technology in our lives.
