Hailed as "ridiculously good" and "a stunner" this book transports you into a world filled with people that are living sustainable self-sufficient lifestyles right in urban landscapes. This book is not a fantasy or a dream for those that imagine a better life but a poignant look at a real subset of American people that are actually doing it. The book takes you step by step through the basic skills of being closer to the land, growing your own food, caring for animals and pretty much anything and everything we have forgotten about living off the land. It provides practical advice to anyone looking to transition from a modern American lifestyle to something else. You will find suggestions for composting vegetable scraps and your own waste along with permaculture design specifications that allow to grow fruit tree's in harmony with annual crops. It also offers insight in natural building methods and how to power this new lifestyle without being plugged into the grid. Finally at the end of the book it delves into the more spiritual aspects of working closer to the land and being in touch with nature.
