Building Within Nature: A Guide for Home Owners, Contractors, and Architects

Every year, many thousands of acres of woodlands, deserts and coastal scrub are turned into home or commercial sites.

In this book, the authors introduce new and exciting techniques for preserving the natural land on which we build new homes, offices, or even shopping centers.
