A good book for home owner, designer and builder

I just downloaded a book tonight. Its title is Your Green Home - A Guide to Planning a Healthy, Environmentally Friendly New Home.

The phrase new home is not intended only to newly built house but to any house which needs to be re-constructed or modified to be a green home.

I am planning to build my own house and I have been looking for information that is related to sustainable house construction. When I was surfing the e-book websites, I found this book. I haven't read all the pages of the book but I can say that the content is suitable for my needs.

The followings are the topics discussed in the book:
