Buildings of Earth and Straw:
Structural Design for Rammed Earth and Straw-Bale Architecture

by Bruce King

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

This lighthearted text, with clear writing and illustrations, offers a basic introduction to structural engineering and how its principles can be applied to earth and straw buildings. Written for both engineers and laypeople, it goes a long way towards bridging the gap between the owners of unconventional homes and the authorities whose approval they must have.
