About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."

Description
The eagerly awaited follow-up to Cradle to Cradle, the most consequential ecological manifesto of our time.
Drawing on the lessons of ten years of putting the cradle-cradle concept into practice, William McDonough and Michael Braungart envision the next step in the solution to our ecological crisis: We don't just reuse resources with greater efficiency; we actually improve them as we use them. We get past focussing on how to mitigate the damage we do and figure out how much better we can make things.
McDonough and Braungart want to turn on its head our very understanding of the human role on earth: We are not just here to protect the planet from ourselves, but to redesign our activity to improve the planet. And that goal is well within our reach.
