[Greenbuilding] Ecological Design and Building Schools: New Guidebook to Green Building Education

[Sandra Leibowitz Earley]

Greetings,
I posted this previously, but for technical reasons I'm not sure whether 
it ever made it through to the list -- please forgive any possible 
duplication:

I am pleased to announce the release of my new book: Ecological Design 
and Building Schools: Green Guide to Educational Opportunities in the 
United States and Canada, this first and only directory of ecological 
design and building schools in North America features an annotated 
listing of schools and educational centers offering top programs in 
ecological design and construction. The guide also offers a 
comprehensive 20-year review of sustainable design educational 
initiatives and discussion of current educational offerings, plus 
extensive tables comparing school programs, listings of curricular 
resources, related organizations, and individual instructors.

Ecological Design and Building Schools updates and greatly expands upon 
my 1996 self-publication Eco-Building Schools, and is the result of my 
unending fascination with sustainable design educational possibilities, 
augmented by the enthusiasm and diligent efforts of research assistants 
and colleagues who helped pull the pieces together.  As the field of of 
ecological/sustainable/green building education is ever-evolving, this 
book captures a slice in time of what is available today, acknowledging 
and showcasing the efforts of those who have made it possible while 
offering tangible options for future development.  Feedback is welcome!

Ecological Design and Building Schools, 168 pp. and well-illustrated, is 
published by and available for $19.95 through New Village Press (see  
http://www.newvillagepress.net/pub_EcoDesignSchools.html), the new 
publishing arm of Architects/Designers/Planners for Social 
Responsibility, as well as in bookstores across the United States and 
Canada.  Books are distributed to the trade by Consortium.
