摘要

Henry Gif ford is nothing if not blunt, and whendiscussing building science, he doesn’t mince hiswords, “Almost nobody understands it,” he says.It was this characteristically candid recognition thatprompted Gifford to write his first book, “Buildings Don’tLie,” a guide for all things under the umbrellas of buildingconstruction and building science, including such essentialareas as airflow, moisture, light, heat and sound. The bookis remarkably robust: It clocks in just shy of 600 pages. It’salso written with a broad readership in mind – Gifford fillsthe pages with full-color photographs, diagrams, graphsand quizzes. This makes for an informative yet surprisinglyeasy read.
