Just finished a new book by Nigel Dunnett, Dusty Gedge, John Little and Edmund C. Snodgrass. Bringing together pioneers from both sides of the pond, Dunnett and Snodgrass alone have perhaps 10 books between them before they decided to write "Small Green Roofs" - Low-tech options for greener living. This is another must have for the library of every living architecture professional, but if you are new to the green roof world and perhaps want to install small green roof on your home, whether it be by a professional or yourself, this is the book to have. Chock full of examples, explained in terrific detail, many of these roofs could be easily replicated. And what's more, small roofs are rarely highlighted on green roof blogs, websites, magazines or in newspapers. I guess the logic goes, if it's only a few feet big, will it be interesting to the rest of us? Will it increase readership or sales to the media outlet? I am glad the author's decided to write the book because every roof is someone's pride and joy and everyone deserves to have a green roof if it's possible. And one has many options if they are open to the possibilities. Check it out today!
Another cool book is Green Architecture - An Asian Perspective. This is the first time I have seen an entire book on video. This a little about green walls on page 98.
