Hes been part of the Coldplay family since day one; we love him. COLDPLAY A funny; honest; absorbing account from an unseen member of the Worlds biggest band. SIMON PEGG Longtime Coldplay roadie Matt has taken almost every step with the band over a decade of world tours and 40 million (and counting) record sales. In this; his first book; he reveals what life is like behind the scenes at the pinnacle of rock n roll touring. As Coldplay move from club gigs to arenas and stadiums worldwide; Matt goes with them; faking it as a band member on US chat shows; flirting with Kylie; saving a life on a French motorway and even pitching in with the odd guitar riff in the studio. Roadie provides the definitive glimpse of backstage life. Tales of hurricanes and heatwaves; helicopter chases and private jets; plectrum hunters and projectiles all come together as Matt explains in his unique way - and regardless of the mountain (and gear) to move - that the show must always; always go on.

Too often different professions work on greening their product in isolation. While they may be doing wonderful designs they are not linking with other elements and professions to make these improvements complimentary and exponential. A LEED Platinum building built on farm land miles from the city center is not a comprehensive solution (and should really not be able to get a platinum rating.) Mr. Farr shows how to create an integrated approach to building where the "green" structure is consciously tied into the communities transportation; utilities; culture; and work life creating a truly sustainable environment. Every public official and city planner should read this book.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great for ArchitectsBy S.MorrowI am an architecture thesis student interested in community-centered design. I bought this on a whim because it seemed relevant and was well-reviewed; but in the week Ive had it has exponentially improved my knowledge on the subject and really guided my project thus far. It does a very nice job of synthesizing various concepts from architecture; planning; and environmental studies into a manageable and pleasant little package. Highly recommend!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. very good book; excellent quality.By ZoyaIt is a very good book but the structure of it a bit disorganized. Nevertheless; I used this book fo my thesis argument; so 4 stars.
