Edminster and Yassa present ways to optimize the use of wood in construction, thereby minimizing forest impacts without inadvertently causing other problems. They have produced an outstanding reference for anyone building wood-frame houses, full of specific, practical suggestions, potential pitfalls, and cost implications. Although this book is primarily aimed at California homebuilders, most of the information is valid throughout North America.
