  A comprehensive guide to building green on any budget.According to conventional wisdom, building a green home is an expensive endeavor. The standard approach treats green as an add-on, tacking "premium" products, finishes, and equipment onto a traditional home design. As a result, many green home projects end up over budget or fail to achieve their environmental and performance goals.Green Home Building explodes the myth that green homes have to cost more. Using proven methods based on applied building science, the authors show how to:Lower base construction costs to provide funding for high performance upgradesAchieve a net-zero energy home, including "zero-ing" water, waste, carbon, and associated costs within fifteen yearsLive affordably into the future, despite anticipated rising costs for fuel, water, materials, taxes, and health careThis comprehensive guide to building green on any budget defines the strategies that maximize the return on green investments. Written for anyone who has ever been swayed by the argument that the price tag limits how green a home can be, Green Home Building is a must-read for builders, contractors, architects, designers, and homeowners.Miki Cook is a green building and sustainability consultant who has dedicated her career to educating contractors and the public on the strategies, methods, and benefits of green homes.Doug Garrett has trained thousands of homebuilders, architects, and sub-contractors to build energy-efficient homes using applied building science to improve comfort, durability, and healthfulness while meeting or exceeding the energy code.

  Are you sick and tired of being… well, sick and tired? Are you chronically struggling with illnesses like anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, or chronic fatigue? Are you sick of “managing” yours symptoms instead of trying to heal your body?  
  If so, you’ve come to the right place. The vagus nerve is the longest nerve in your body, connecting almost all of your major organs, from the brain to the colon. The first part of this audiobook will explain the anatomy of the vagus nerve, how it functions in the body, and the different medical theories surrounding its healing power. The second part will explain how this nerve is related to a variety of different health conditions, from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to chronic inflammation. Finally, the third part of this audiobook will feature a number of different exercises and lifestyle techniques to help you stimulate the vagus nerve, activating its healing potential. Chronic exposure to stress, environmental toxins, and processed foods put stress on our bodies and minds in so many different ways. 
  You now have the knowledge to take back control over your own health and wellness. You no longer have to settle for medical interventions that don’t seem to work for you, nor do you have to depend on medication to keep your body functioning normally. 
  There is no magic in this audiobook, no pseudoscience. Some of this information will seem incredible or even fanciful to you. Some of this information will sound more like common sense than science. The techniques for vagus nerve stimulation offered here come from all over the world. Some techniques have been practiced by humans for thousands of years, while others are cutting edge therapies that take advantage of modern technology for the benefit of us all. I applaud you for taking charge of your own wellness, and I hope that this audiobook helps you to build a better relationship with your body, your mind, and this most amazing of nerves.

  The Internet-Enabled Successful...

  The job of a product manager is made even more difficult by the simple fact that it really does not come with any clear instructions on how to do it correctly. As product managers we are constantly searching for ways to become better. 
  
   
  What You'll Find Inside:
  
  9 WAYS TO TO BECOME AN INFORMATION PRODUCT MANAGER
  WHY PRODUCT MANAGERS NEED TO KNOW THAT COST PLUS PRICING IS WRONG, WRONG, WRONG
  WHAT IS A “PRODUCT VISION”?
  WEB 2.0 PRODUCT MANAGEMENT: IT’S ALL ABOUT PARTICIPATION
  
  
   
  One of the things that every product manager quickly realizes is that their career success is very closely tied to the financial success of their product. It is the job of the product manager to make sure that his or her product is meeting the needs of their customer. 
  
   
  One of the most challenging aspects of creating a product that meets a customer's needs is to decide on what the right price to charge is. The goal is to charge as much as you can without exceeding what your customer's perception of the value of your product is. There are a lot of wrong ways to do this and just a few correct ways. 
  
   
  One of the most important things that a product manager can do is to learn from the actions of other product managers. Not all product management programs succeed. We need to teach ourselves to keep our eyes open and watch and learn from both the successes and failures of other product managers. 
  
   
  As though being a product manager was not hard enough, we also don't control the world in which we live. This means that we need to create plans to deal with events like product name changes, recessions, and irrational customers. 
  
   
  This book has been written to provide you with the insights that you are going to need in order to develop your product management skills. We'll be talking about what you need to take into consideration when you are creating a price for your product, how to start your year off on the right foot, and how to create a vision for your product.
