Review
From the reviews:
“This is a very well-researched and well-written summary of hundreds of research reports, papers and books on current problems concerning the planet and the construction industry’s contributions to global warming and depletion of non-renewable resources. ... a small, concise summary for those interested in construction and making the process more ‘green’. For any instructor of construction in any country, or researcher wanting to find other authors and research results on materials used in construction this book will be a valuable resource.” (Denise Gravitt, Construction Management and Economics, Vol. 31 (11), December, 2013)"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
