The Good House Book - Clarke Snell

This is an excellent book that addresses the concerns of natural building and alternative building without being crippled by fanatic idealism, or carried away by unrealistic whimsy. This could be a 101 course textbook for these fields.

The whole natural building, eco-community phenomenon, for all the attributes and good intentions, still leans toward escapism. I'm convinced, and even more so after reading this book, that the best approach is to leave any remaining untouched land untouched and instead focus on a remodeling/rebuilding project. Read the book yourself and see what you think.
