Biotechnophilia: James Lovelock, Lynn Margulis and the Gaia Concept
http://biotechnophilia.blogspot.com/2008/03/james-lovelock-lynn-margulis-and-gaia.html
Biophilia Technophilia = Biotechnophilia, the love of both nature and technology. James Lovelock, Lynn Margulis and the Gaia Concept. One can argue that the Earth functions in many ways as a self-sustaining organism. Indeed, this is exactly the concept espoused by British biophysicist, geophysiologist, and inventor James Lovelock, who borrowed the name of the ancient Greek Earth goddess to name his theory. And is this so hard to accept? For example, the body of every human being contains over 500 species...

Biotechnophilia: Richard St. Barbe Baker
http://biotechnophilia.blogspot.com/2008/03/richard-st-barbe-baker.html
Biophilia Technophilia = Biotechnophilia, the love of both nature and technology. Richard St. Barbe Baker. He stated that “You can gauge a nation’s wealth, its real wealth, by its tree cover." And this is still easily observed today, as in the example of the country of Haiti, which occupies the same island as the lush Dominican Republic, yet is deforested and destitute. In addition to his love of nature, he was also a pioneer in the design and construction of travel trailers (also known as caravans).

Biotechnophilia: Francis of Assisi
http://biotechnophilia.blogspot.com/2008/03/francis-of-assisi.html
Biophilia Technophilia = Biotechnophilia, the love of both nature and technology. In the opinion of Adrian House, author of. Francis of Assisi, A Revolutionary Life. Like many mystics of other faiths who also lived close to nature, Francis seems to have developed an abiding respect for all life. Regardless of one’s religious beliefs or lack thereof, we can all learn from his example. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Man of the Trees.

Biotechnophilia: Thomas Jefferson
http://biotechnophilia.blogspot.com/2008/03/thomas-jefferson.html
Biophilia Technophilia = Biotechnophilia, the love of both nature and technology. I once read somewhere that, as opposed to being someone who. For his country, Jefferson is known as a man who “thought for his country.” And in so doing (within the constraints of his upbringing and personal preconceptions) it seems that he tried his hardest to devise what would be best for humanity and nature in combination.

Biotechnophilia: Quonset Huts
http://biotechnophilia.blogspot.com/2008/03/quonset-huts.html
Biophilia Technophilia = Biotechnophilia, the love of both nature and technology. 8220;Quonset Huts,” per se, are not built anymore. Companies now manufacturing buildings of this basic design tend to call them “arched metal buildings,” etc. (See an example at RAL Homes. But they’re essentially the same thing (or better), and genuine examples of old Quonset Huts can still be found in some places, waiting for new owners looking for a simple, yet solid and long-lasting dwelling.

Biotechnophilia: Underground, Earth-Sheltered and Earth-Bermed Homes
http://biotechnophilia.blogspot.com/2008/03/underground-earth-sheltered-and-earth.html
Biophilia Technophilia = Biotechnophilia, the love of both nature and technology. Underground, Earth-Sheltered and Earth-Bermed Homes. Inexpensive dwellings can be constructed by digging a hole in the ground and using polyethylene sheeting to cover wood that braces the sides and covers the top, and then putting dirt back on top of the whole thing (see Mike Oehler's undergroundhousing.com. Also, a house can be built by covering a monolithic concrete dome with soil. 8220;Underground” houses are insul...

Biotechnophilia: Shelter
http://biotechnophilia.blogspot.com/2008/03/shelter.html
Biophilia Technophilia = Biotechnophilia, the love of both nature and technology. Without proper shelter, we humans generally have difficulty surviving the elements. And even aside from that consideration, it can be argued that every human being deserves a comfortable, esthetically-pleasing home in which to live. However, vast numbers of people not only live in unhealthy, visually-depressing slums and hovels, but also find it difficult to ever climb out of such conditions. But how can we do this? Perhaps...

Biotechnophilia: Food
http://biotechnophilia.blogspot.com/2008/03/food.html
Biophilia Technophilia = Biotechnophilia, the love of both nature and technology. However, feeling guilty about eating a hearty holiday dinner won’t really do anything to feed the hungry, so what’s the answer (aside from avoiding gluttony)? In other words, when it comes to food, what are the best ways of reconciling nature and technology, and providing adequate quantities of nutritious, enjoyable food for everyone on the planet? Article, “ Dilemma of a Carnivore. 8221; by William Saletan). And while ...

Biotechnophilia: Papuan Stilt Houses
http://biotechnophilia.blogspot.com/2008/03/papuan-stilt-houses.html
Biophilia Technophilia = Biotechnophilia, the love of both nature and technology. The Motuan people of the southern coastal area of Papua New Guinea have for generations built stilt houses over the sea. Other stilt houses in PNG are built on dry land, but still allow for occasional flooding. Also, if your house is built over water, it should be cooler than one built over land, due to the fact that water itself generally radiates less heat than dry surfaces.
