Book Description
The argument for low-cost, zero-energy, zero-waste architecture has never been timelier, while the mainstream has largely abandoned or neglected this agenda: in the UK the recent mandatory zero-carbon performance targets for new homes have been postponed or forgotten at a time when thousands of new homes will be built, and there is already a shortage of electric generating capacity. This book offers a forceful challenge to the current addiction to overconsumption of natural capital and energy, and provides workable, sustainable solutions for zero-carbon, zero-waste design.

Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
Run, Hide, Escape is unputdownable from beginning to end. Former Navy Seals Frank "Dog" Wright is recovering from PTSD in the safety and tranquillity of his sanctuary, a shack deep in the Appalachian Mountain Ranges. But his time alone is interrupted by the ghostly spirit of his deceased Team Leader, the legendary Joseph "Tennessee" Coleman. His message? 'Save Anita for me." Anita Ferguson is Tennessee's aunt. Initially, Frank refuses to listen. He digs his heels in until he could no longer ignore the persistent haunting appeals from his former Boss. Finally, Frank accepts the task, but now he has a problem. How does he explain to Anita that her dead nephew is speaking to him and telling him to protect her? He rehearses while he waits for her: 'Hey, your nephew's ghost sent me to keep you safe.' It sounds daft. More to the point, he sounds as though he needs to be institutionalised. Eventually, he is able to convince Anita that he is telling the truth and he isn't insane. She allows him to shadow her for a day. Thankfully she did because her life is suddenly upended when someone shot at her. From then on, it is up to Frank to keep her safe and to get to the bottom of who wants her dead. It would take all his special forces skills to do so. Would he be able to keep her safe? And, would there be a chance for them to be together? To find out, get a copy NOW.
