The great indoors

 

The great indoors: the surprising science of how buildings shape our behavior, health and happiness / Emily Anthes, 290 pgs.

A fascinating look at how our environment shapes us. The inside environment, not "nature."  Most humans spend the bulk of their time inside and the way that space functions, how it serves us is a key component in how productive we are, how healthy we are and how happy we are. Anthes studies workplaces, hospitals, correctional facilities, school and even our future homes on Mars.  Each chapter is loaded with examples of ways we can improve our environs and why it matters.
