Good, but not great.,

This review is from: Cities and Natural Process: A Basis for Sustainability (Paperback)
This book came to me highly recommended by two professors. The book is well organized and covers everything about urban sustainability. It is a great read if you have not read this sort of thing before, because it will quickly open your eyes to facets of life that may have so far escaped your consideration. However, I am disappointed with the substantiated data provided in the book. There are a few case study-type sections that are largely based in and around Ottawa, but many of the supporting information the author is using is coming from mediocre sources that are not the peer-reviewed journals for which I was hoping. The author makes significant claims and statements that differ from other sources I have read, and the citations are along the lines of Popular Science and E Magazine. I think I could get away citing Michael Hough, but I'm not sure my professors would accept many of the citations he uses. It's a good book, just not the great book I was hoping to find.
