Chapters include: </p> <ul> <li> Frame construction alternatives </li> <li> Thermal and moisture control </li> <li> Finishes </li> <li> Flooring </li> <li> Furnishings </li> </ul> <p> The authors -- an architect, medical doctor and restoration consultant -- bring a singular combination of expertise and perspectives to this book. The result -- now in its third completely updated edition -- is a unique guide to creating healthy indoor and outdoor spaces, including many new resources, as well as specialized knowledge from several nationally recognized experts in the field of building biology. </p> <p> This unique guide will appeal to architects, designers, contractors, medical professionals and homeowners. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Paula Baker-Laporte</b> is the principal architect and founder of Baker-Laporte and Assoc. and EcoNest Design. <p/><b>John C.
