"Eco-friendly housing used to be thought of as expensive, ugly or just plain weird. Now it's becoming common. David Johnston and Scott Gibson offer guidance on environmentally sensitive home building in Green from the Ground Up: Sustainable, Healthy, and Energy-Efficient Home Construction. The book helps builders and homeowners create houses that conserve natural resources and are energy-efficient and healthful. It's packed with information, tips, illustrations and case studies that offer wisdom earned from experience." -- McClatchy-Tribune News Service

"Green from the Ground Up is easy to flip through, and pick and choose information by topic. From foundations and framing to insulation and windows, the authors take complex materials, technologies and methods and render them easy to understand. Green from the Ground Up is a nicely balanced guide to every aspect of a sustainable construction job, tapping (in Johnston's case) the accumulated knowledge of a green building career that began not five or 10 years ago, like most, but dating back decades to the pioneering days of solar buildings in the 1970s. Whether you are a veteran or new to green building, and whether it's tar-paper spline covering the joints on a rain screen or the latest in dual-flush toilets that you are looking to learn more about, the authors have a page you can turn to." --Sustainable Industries Magazine, October 24, 2008"Eco-friendly housing used to be thought of as expensive, ugly or just plain weird.
