The New Ecological Home: A Complete Guide to Green Building Options. In his book The New Ecological Home, Daniel D. Chiras cheers not only for sustainable building in new homes, but for adapting already existing properties for a kinder relationship with the Earth and its resources. On pages 50 and 60 of this issue, we cover green building materials and a home that exemplifies the kind of action Chiras supports. With a list of chapters that includes "The Healthy House," "Passive Cooling," "Using Concrete and Steel to Build Green," and "Site Matters," finding the answers to your green questions just got a little easier.
