Alan Bennett is perhaps best known in the UK for the BBC production of his Talking Heads TV plays; while the rest of the world may recognize him for the film adaptation of his play; The Madness of King George. OMealy points out that Bennett is a social critic strongly influenced by Beckett and Swift; interested in depicting and analyzing the role playing of everyday life; ala sociologist Ervin Goffman.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A must have resource!By Robert J. GilleskieProbably the best energy efficiency book Ive ever bought. Liked the third edition so much last spring and bought it then; even though I knew the 4th edition was coming out in the fall (and I bought it too). Clear; beautifully illustrated with great explanations of sometimes more complex topics. A great reference for not only architects; but engineers also (like me). A must have for anyone interested in sustainable design.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. easy to read and easy to understandBy Eric Chenif you are an building junkie like me this will really get you off to a good start.
