0764321897.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpgHow did this book slip by our green roof radar? Published last year, this visually attractive book has photos and descriptions of forty case studies of exemplary green roof projects — from Mexico City to Malmo, Sweden to Fukuoka, Japan to Dearborn, Michigan. It includes contributions from many of the leading people in the field. The book is intended to inform and inspire communities, designers, building owners by showcasing the environmental and aesthetic potential of large-scale green roofs. Available from Amazon for $26.37.

Tell me that building on the cover is in Mexico Ciy. how refreshing to just look at a modern building and know where it's from, based on some sophisticated use of local design vocabulary.

This book and many others mentioned on treehugger interest me very much, but it would be nice in the future if you included a link to an independant online bookseller such as http://www.powells.com/ rather than Amazon.
