Customer Review: This book will change the way you look at food and shopping.

Customer Review: I've been familiar with Eliot Coleman's work for a few years now. I found an interesting article in Mother Earth News, 2004, regarding his daughter, Clara, and her attempts at gardening in the winter. It peaked my curiosity, so I saved the article.

Imagine a beautiful, highly productive, virtually weed-free, drought-resistant, inexpensive, low-maintenance and ecologically sound garden bed in your yard. It sounds impossible, but it is very simple and only... more info
Customer Review: I found out about Paul Stamets after someone passed me a link to a video over at google where he spoke at a sustainability conference (hint "paul stamets lohas"). By the end of the video, I knew I'd be reading more. I'm ~100 pages in and am in awe with how much good information is in here. Breadth... more info
Customer Review: The books arrived in great condition on time and quickly. It was seperated into three shipments... that was a little odd.... I am sure there is some kind of a reason. Oh Well.... Happy Customer
