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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
Regards,<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">David, I received your book in
the mail yesterday. It looks very good, nicely organized, great
photos (though I wish they were larger) and in general, good info.
At a very good price, it would be a perfect gift for those interested in
an overview of what green building is about. <br><br>
Coincidentally, today I received the announcement of John Straube's new
book on 'Performance Enclosures" a book which should offer the last
word on energy efficient building available today; it is designed as a
"guide for Institutional, Commercial and Industrial Buildings in
Cold Climates". Written for those--"working to meet the
growing need for buildings that have significantly lower operational
energy consumption".<br><br>
Worthy reading, both. Sacie<br><br>
