The Green Room - Books For Continual Learning

Books For Continual Learning The Green Room

In the UK, people read about 15 books a year. Why not make one of them a book about climate change?

I’ve selected the ones that connect the climate emergency to design practice so no matter which area of design you work in, there should be something in it for you. And there’s no harm in reading outside of your own practice either - we can all do with a little cross pollination this spring.
