摘要：The author, Sanda Lenzholzer, had two clear and conscious goals with this book, to close the gap between the area of meteorology and urban design, and to do so while reaching for a wider audience but still maintaining scientifi c background.The volume was writt en by an architect who has a hands-on knowledge on the practical considerations of the planning and construction of buildings.Her interesting aspect is that she does not consider the weather as a stress factor on built structures but as a stress factor on the people living in and around the buildings.The work was previously published in Dutch, and in its time, it gained a lot of media att ention.Later on, the author was persuaded into rewriting it for an international audience in English, resulting in this volume.Judging by the contents, it was a worthy decision.
