Description
Timber! How Wood Can Help Save the World from Climate Breakdown by Paul Brannen offers a compelling argument for the use of timber in buildings. The author challenges conventional wisdom, proposing that planting trees is not enough to reduce carbon emissions, and that we must also use more wood in our constructions. This book tackles head-on the complexities of sustainability, safety, biodiversity, and land use, presenting a persuasive case for timber as a construction material. With the latest developments in engineering and material science, Brannen presents fresh and inventive ideas that could transform the way we build, reducing our carbon footprint and storing more carbon than our forests.
