The Great Indoors: The Surprising Science of How Buildings Shape Our Behavior, Health, and Happiness

byEmily Anthes

Emily Anthes uses The Great Indoors to investigate the Surprising Science of How Buildings Shape Our Behavior, Health, and Happiness through a carefully framed science narrative. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the connected fields of architecture and science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Together, these elements make The Great Indoors an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise.
