Summary: Excellent Resource
Comment: I recently finished this book and was delighted with the ideas set forth. As many Americans, I had never heard of this technique before. I am currently attending school for a degree in Architecture and am very environmentally oriented. The author provided an easy to understand framework for the process and even better examples. This building technique of minimal impact on the land is a great idea and I am glad that I found this book. These principles have definitely furthered my understanding of how such simple things can make such a difference. I am truly influenced by the nature's envelope technique.

Summary: Great Building/Development Resource
Comment: Finally something on the most neglected part of so many construction projects: the landscape interface between a building and it's site.

Not only does this book cover a huge geographic area for the subject of environmentally-sensitive building placement and landscape salvage/retention/revegetation, but it does it accurately. The techincal "how-to" steps are for professionals and homeowners alike, and all in the Wasowski's easy-to-read language.

Hopefully EVERY developer will study and apply all the principles found in this book. Too bad it isn't the law for the development and home buyer to comply with the principles found herein!
