great

I've been reading this at lunch. It's great. It's a primer and doesn't go into a lot of detail, but there's still a lot of good info in here even if you already know a lot about green design. I found it inspirational. I love the people at the Rock Mountain Institute. They are doing great work. Natural Economy is also, of course, a great book.

Easy to read - Concepts and tips are described well

Although I have been around sustainable construction projects for seven years, I only just got around to buying this book. It does a very good job of consolidating most of the "green built" topics in an easy to read format. I am now realizing that I should have read this at the start of my interest in the green built environment!
