by Carla EmeryFrom the mundane to the obscure, the thoroughness of this book is amazing. It seems to cover every conceivable aspect of sustainable living.
- The Integral Urban House
by The Farallones InstituteDon't let the title fool you - most of the concepts in this book have to do with creating a sustainable home, urban or otherwise. Some of the information is slightly dated, but it's easy enough to mentally update with more recent equivalents.
- Storey's Basic Country Skills
by John Storey and Martha StoreyAnother very comprehensive guide to living in a rural area and fending for yourself. It is not long on detail at times, but it gives you enough information to know what to try or what questions to ask.
- Handy Farm Devices and How to Make Them
by Rolfe CobleighThis fascinating book was originally published almost 100 years ago, but many tools and ideas might be just as useful today as then.
