In 35 years of construction, I have never seen a book so well done about a topic so needing a book. The initial premise is so right on. The existing housing stock needs to be dealt with. It cannot be just new. The actual book is a work of art. The regional aspect with case studies is outstanding. The low fruit and more advanced steps is an excellent way to approach material of this sort. The photos and other sidebars just fall in line. The appendices are worth the price by themselves.
