The Straw Bale House:
A Real Goods Independent Living Book

by Bill Steen;  Athena Swentzell Steen;  David Bainbridge

www.chelseagreen.com/bookstore/item/the_straw_bale_house:paperback

This well-illustrated and authoritative resource on straw-bale construction is a must-read for anyone interested in the topic. It includes all the key information about the technique plus anecdotes, illustrations, construction details, and historical information. It also delves in to the common concerns and environmental benefits of the technique. The only concern about the book is the chapter order, which can be somewhat confusing.
