Description: From the Authors' Note... Almost 2,500 years ago, the ancient Greeks began designing their homes to capture winter sunlight. This book describes the major advances in solar architecture and technology that have occurred since that time. Its emphasis is on developments occurring in Western civilization, but it also touches on important work from China and Japan.
