“Sue Reed has compiled an extremely useful and readable book on ways in which we can design and manage landscapes with the goal of conserving—and even producing—energy. I have not seen another book which brings together so many useful concepts and practical information. This comprehensive book, written in a direct, non-jargonistic manner, will be of tremendous value to everyone from individual homeowners to students of environmental design.”
