Product Description

This manual doesn't just talk about eco-friendly building techniques, but actually shows every step. More than 1,200 close-up photographs, along with in-depth descriptions, follow the real construction of an alternative house from site selection to the final-touch interior details. The authors provide: discussions of the fundamental concepts of construction; earth-friendly alternatives to conventional approaches and materials; plans for a home that is comfortable, beautiful, and environmentally responsible; and a practical demonstration of a house in construction using alternative methods. The images show every move: how the site is cleared, the basic structure put together, the cob wall sculpted, the bales and cordwood stacked, a living roof created. Most important, the manual conveys the real-world challenges and processes, and offers dozens of sidebars with invaluable advice

5.0 out of 5 stars More than enough, 4 Aug 2009

By	T. S. Ward "Large" (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are serious about building green then this book will not disappoint you. It covers many aspects of building green homes. If I had a criticism then it would be that I can't understand why the author's decided to build a living roof even though they strongly suggest that a novice should never attempt to build one. This book will open your eyes to things which you have seen all of your life yet never recognised. What more can one want from a book.
