'At no time did I feel that the presentation was dry; the text is well supported by diagrams, photographs and technical drawings...The information is never less than practical and so far I have not come across a better way to grasp the subtleties and contradictions of what makes an ecohouse.' 5-star Amazon customer review

'I was prepared to find some of the sections a bit too techie, but in fact was riveted from start to finish. Very well written throughout and the case studies are fantastic.'
