I'm stuck at home with my air purifiers, waiting for the smoke to clear. Millions of Americans are doing the same thing. So I wrote an article for Forbes about how worsening air quality will change home buying preferences, looking at evidence from Beijing. www.forbes.com/sites/darylf...

It's been in my Amazon book list for a long time, so when I saw it was on sale, I read the introduction and was hooked. Thank you for a book that is thoughtful, interesting, and enjoyable to read.
