The Good House Book: A Common Sense Guide to Alternative Homebuilding -- 240 pages Modern folks spend most of their time in buildings, but most of us know nothing about them. If you think about it, that’s sort of unsettling. It’s definitely not a recipe for creating the secure feeling that home is supposed to represent. Personally, I also think it’s a big reason why so much modern building is so bad. Most of us just accept the malls, skyscrapers, and tract home subdivisions because we’re too self-conscious of our ignorance to stand up and say, “What is this garbage? Would you please just stop it!” To me, the alternative/natural/green
building movement is all about doing just that. By educating ourselves
about the true purpose and
function of the buildings we live in and use, we’ll start making
better building decisions and regain control over a central part
of our lives. I wrote “The Good House Book” as a primer
to get people started on that road. It’s clear, straight-up,
thorough, and, I’m told, interesting to read, sometimes even
funny. It also has lots of nice "purty" pictures to look at.
