Now more than ever it is time that we confront head-on the change from the "underground resources" type of civilization to one with a new way of life and technology that embraces a sense of nature. To do so, we must learn from nature, the only sustainable society on earth, and create technology that embraces such a view of nature. We call such technology, which cleverly revives nature's greatness, Nature Technology. Taking a casual glance at nature, a nest of termites in the savanna region can be observed to maintain a steady temperature of 30°C despite the fact that the outside air temperature ranges from 50°C during the day to nearly 0°C at night. There are countless numbers of open pores just several billionths of a meter (nanometer) wide in the "earth" of the nest, which serve to regulate the temperature and humidity. In fact, all kinds of "earth" have these pores (clay mineral with aggregated structures) and air conditioners that require no electricity have been created by hardening this earth while preserving its structure; a cooling floor or wall becomes the alternative to a conventional air conditioner. This book provides many such examples of how Nature Technology can support a new lifestyle that is both environmentally sound and spiritually uplifting. 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aNature 606 $aEcology 606 $aGraphic design 606 $aPhilosophy of Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34050 606 $aPopular Science in Nature and Environment$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q16000 606 $aInteraction Design$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K19030 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 0$aNature. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aGraphic design. 615 14$aPhilosophy of Technology. 615 24$aPopular Science in Nature and Environment. 615 24$aInteraction Design. 676 $a601 700 $aIshida$b Emile H$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058965 702 $aFurukawa$b Ryuzo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438242303321 996 $aNature Technology$92503344 997 $aUNINA
