The Hand-Sculpted House: A Practical and Philosophical Guide to Building a Cob Cottage: The Real Goods Solar ...
Ianto Evans, Michael G. Smith, ...

Chelsea Green Publishing Company, 2002

Brilliant and much needed
This will sound like a strange thing to say about a book on building, but I've been moved to tears reading this. One might think that the authors of such a book would be Luddites proposing a return to savagery or some such, but this is not the case. What they propose, ...

The Solar House: Passive Heating and Cooling
Daniel D. Chiras

Chelsea Green Publishing Company, 2002

Amazing book - quite possibly the BEST on solar building
My copy of this book is a mess. It has highlighting and notes all throughout the pages and looks well worn even though I've only had the book for a year. When the time came to do some studying on solar design, this was the book that was recommended to me. And for ...

Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power
Mark Schapiro

Chelsea Green Publishing, 2007

Buy this book before you vote in 2008!!!
