from New Society Publishers
Price: $37.77

Customer Review:
There is no such thing as a perfect book, but I have read all of those other books on solar. None of them tell you how to setup a system. This one does. It comes as close to perfect as you they get.

from Chronicle Books
Price: $18.15

Customer Review:
Seriously. One of the most inspiring books I own. And yes, I really do ration a chapter a night so (hopefully) it never ends! One thing you'll learn - all creativity is apparently born in IKEA. Who knew?!

Customer Review:
Book is very good for research and beginners learning building construction. I have used the earlier editions often for research. But the 4th ed. the print and the size of font is smaller and lighter in color and is hard to read even which my glasses on.

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $40.95

Customer Review:
I bought this book after reading the glowing reviews on amazon. It was also an inspiration for Will Wright to make SimCity and the SIMS..... so I had high expectations.

Customer Review:
I have a number of the Dummies books on various topics, and had an interest in how one might "green" an existing home, or build a new one.
