[Greenbuilding] New book

[David Bergman]

Thanks Sacie. I'm really happy to hear you like the book. I agree; I 
wish the images could have been larger, but the format of the 
publisher's Architecture Briefs series dictated both the layout and 
the amount of text. One of the hardest parts of creating the book was 
deciding which images and what content had to be cut. The book could 
easily have been twice the length.

But that's also the strength of it, as the Architecture Briefs series 
intends. As I wrote the other day, it probably doesn't contain much 
that members of this listserv don't already know (though I'd like to 
think it's organized and explained particularly well!). Its intention 
is to provide a concise and approachable (and positive) overview.

Regards,

David
