Average Rating:
 Rating:  - ExcellentThis clearly written and well illustrated book contains a mine of practical information on 'green' home improvements. I would recommend anyone carrying out DIY projects to read it first. Rating: - The Eco-House ManualThis intelligently written manual encompasses all aspects of living under the threat of global warming. Subjects range from the principles of eco-renovation, choosing construction materials, ways of reducing heat loss, conservation of water, eco-friendly gardening and much more. Every topic is covered in detail and supported with actual photographs. Where web sites are deemed useful reference is made to them. Definitely a "must have" for our era. Rating: - The Eco- House ManualI really enjoyed this book. I'm not at all technically minded but I thought it was very clear, down to earth and easy to follow. I found the chapter on heating very useful and especially appreciated allthe up to date grant information. In fact it was all good - handy info. on paints and carpets as well. Thank you Haynes for publishing this book. Rating:  - Nice colour pictures but no detailsHaynes have a reputation for comprehensive and reliable technical guides, but this book just doesn't have the content. It's a quick trot through various aspects of eco-houses, with lots of colour pics, but the advice isn't detailed enough to enable sensible decision-making (e.g. on the complex subject of boilers and heating systems), and the how-to instructions are very scanty. I didn't find anything here that isn't in more detail on the Web or my standard DIY tomes.
