Title: a wonderful book
Review: I picked this off of a library shelf merely on the merits of the title, and was pleasantly surprised at how readable and fun this book was. The author Fossel has a fine writing style, and swings back and forth from personal anecdotes to technical details within the space of a page. No photo's, but there are some fine drawings that complement the text. The material is very sound, and occasionally made me think about concepts that I was familiar with in fresh new ways. Good practical information, but also ample amounts of philosophical rumination (almost all of which I happen to agree with).Primarily concerned with retrofitting older houses in the New England area, although the ideas and concepts apply to any cold weather climate.Read this book on a cold night, next to a crackling fire, and have a hot drink at hand.
