    Shu Geng、Micheal Deng Eugene Tssui著的《Beyond Green Building--Transformation in Design and Human Behavior》讲述了：Architects Michael Deng and Eugene Tssui present the current and anticipatoryevolution of ecological thinking as applied to the built environment and human behav-ior change. We are given the current societal outlook of a LEED ( Leadership in Ener-gy and Environmental Design ) -based paradigm (Part I) and the proceed to investi-gate the coming sociological issues that are profoundly effecting our society andculture resulting in an emotional/behavioral motivations and needs (Part II) .
    Rarely does a book cover the deeper motivations of the human psyche and howthat directly influences our designed, built, environments.
    This pioneering book covers the gamut of human behavior, i.e. , the growingepidemic of global obesity, the pervasive presence of bullying in all walks of life, andthe irresponsible treatment of the earth and its resources. This is a pioneering work thatdares to tread where others fear to go.
