James Howard Kunstler

    James Howard Kunstler is een Amerikaanse auteur en sociaal criticus die bekend staat om zijn kritiek op het leven in buitenwijken en stedelijke ontwikkeling. Zijn werken onderzoeken de implicaties van dalende olieproductie en voorspellen het einde van de geïndustrialiseerde samenleving, met een gedwongen terugkeer naar lokale, agrarische gemeenschappen. Zijn schrijven benadrukt vaak de noodzaak om onze huidige levensstijlen opnieuw te evalueren en ons aan te passen aan de realiteit van eindige hulpbronnen. Kunstler daagt lezers uit om de langetermijngevolgen van onze keuzes te overwegen en te zoeken naar duurzamere paden.

      Jim Howard creates luxe yet comfortable homes for sophisticated clients around the country. His design work is known for the sort of evocative atmosphere that characterizes the world's great spaces. "Atmosphere" is the magic of a place, the embodiment of all its power to capture your attention and embrace you--some might call it the "wow factor." But even as it excites, atmosphere also soothes, offering an overall feeling of well-being and calm. Howard wrote this book to convey all he has learned about crafting atmosphere at home, wherever that home may be, whatever aesthetic it might have. Doing so isn't just a matter of rules or formulas; it is a science as much as an art, which Jim shares in a dozen captivating chapters.
