Thermal Delight in Architecture (Mit Press)
M**R
We humans, as sentient beings, live in a world in which temperature is everything!
This book creates a linguistic and imaginal bridge between the senses and the environment as defined by the thermal state in which beings find themselves. I delighted in the descriptive phrases and the addition of poetry to the text. Short and succinct and fun to read! And I learned so much.

This quirky book is insanely interesting, as well as very original. After I read it I thought about it for months afterward. Highly recommended.

Importante e excelente livro.
Excelente livro para nos ajudar a nos livrarmos do mal do ar condicionado, nos projetos de arquitetura. Deve ser lido em conjunto com o livro Cool Comfort: America's Romance with Air-Conditioning.

Required Textbook
Fast enough. Poke-sized book. Smaller and thinner than I expected, very handy.

Every HVAC engineer must read it.
This is a really valuable book. I specifically like the chapter about the circulation of people in a turkish bath and their thermal adventures through the spaces.

Short and very sweet
Missing a discussion on tropical design, but otherwise a very nice hour's read.
