"Build Beyond Zero is a timely and deeply informative tour d'horizon of the ways to build structures of all kinds so they avoid or capture and store carbon emissions. Mixing humor and deep knowledge, King and Magwood sketch out a compelling story of how humans can transform their built environment. Specifically examining how we use wood, cement. plastics, and other materials, they show an innovative path forward to meet our most demanding climate goals. In the face of widespread inertia, this book strikesjust the right tone of can-do optimism with a touch of history and philosophy. Down to earth and visionary. "

Jerry Brown - former Governor of California, Chair of the California-China Climate Institute at the University of California, Berkeley

"Timing is everything. With Build Beyond Zero, King and Magwood are releasing to the world a profound yet very doable climate action plan for the building industry. They provide a smorgasbord of solutions available for use today to help move the industry from climate villain to climage hero."

Kirsten Ritchie, Principal, Gensler

Build Beyond Zero is a remarkably compelling, educational, and encouraging book that outlines specific and concrete actions the building industry can take to reduce its impact on climate change. Both approachable and deeply informative, this book should be required reading for industry professionals.

Stacey Smedley, Sustainability Professional, Expert, and Speaker

"There is much to love in this book. It will give the general reader an understanding of the issues, but it will have many lightbulb moments for professionals and will give them a new language, and a way of explaining these issues. I and others have been trying to do this for decades, but non have been as clear, as easy to read and understand, and as useful as King and Magwood in Build Beyond Zero."

- Treehugger

"Build Beyond Zero is a comprehensive and clear overview of construction practices and their potential climate impact in the near future... King and Magwood offer an essential manifesto for anyone involved in commissioning or carrying out construction or renovation, anyone involved in the production of building materials, anyone involved in the establishment or modification of building codes, anyone involved in construction education."
