Recenzii
From reviews of the Green Building Handbook: 'The Publisher is to be congratulated on this book' - Building.
'An impressive collection' - Architect's Journal.
`...an ingenious and I think effective way of providing information in such a way that specifiers will be drawn to consider more fundamentally benign solutions.' - Scottish Ecological Design Association.
`The book benefits from the range of participating researchers and contributors so that some depth in each area can be represented. At the same time there is a consistency in presentation between the different sections, which is helpful.' - SEDA
`...a great book.' - SEDA
`North American readers would find this book useful as a "state of the art" of green building in Europe, and can help generate interest in products not yet available here.' The Last Straw. Winter 2000.
`The editors successfully undertake the difficult task of providing a wealth of information in a thorough, yet concise manner.' The Last Straw, Winter 2000.
Winner of Gold Medal, 2001 CIOB literary awards (Building Process category)
`This is a book equally fascinating for professionals and non-professionals with an interest in sustainable development. For non-professionals, it contains clear jargon-free information about sustainable products. For professionals it provides an "at a glance" reference tool and a wealth of detailed information on "green alternatives'. Journal of Architectural Conservation July 2001
`It is easy to read, straightforward and accessible, with a plethora of "never knew that" facts that draw one into the subject. The information provided is surefooted and sturdy without becoming bogged down in wothiness, and it is a great source for both background information and contacts.' Journal of Architectural Conservation July 2001
