dc.descriptionAbout the Book: This selected series of international studies is aimed at achieving a balance between the house and the desert, assuming an energy-conscious future. In the book experimental houses and examples from the world's deserts are discussed, documented and illustrated. The studies were sponsored by the Arid Lands Natural Resources Committee of the University of Arizona.en_US
