With a wide selection of case studies and practical exercises to make the book engaging and; above all; useful; the authors analyze War of the Worlds; Were Alive: A Story of Survival; and The Terrifying Tale of Sweeney Todd!

A useful and interesting bookBy Lifelong learnerThis book provided us with useful information about planning to create a rooftop green space on top of our garage. We havent actually built the garage yet; but we were having trouble finding enough detailed on-line information to guide us through the planning stage. This book gives enough information to help make important decisions without overwhelming you with choices. It also provides very useful diagrams that are easy to understand. We recommend it!4 of 6 people found the following review helpful. TextbookishBy Bombshelter64The book seemed a little long on words and somewhat short on practical; usableinformation. Photos and diagrams are uninspiring...seems like a textbook oracademic work written in the 1960s or 1970s. However; considering I had very little knowledge of green roofs at all...I was able to increase my understanding. There might be other moredynamic titles on the subject available.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
