Alternative Construction:
Contemporary Natural Building Methods

editors: Lynne Elizabeth;  Cassandra Adams

www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0471719382.html

Not meant to compete with existing resources on individual earth- and straw-based building methods, this book does a fine job of pulling them all into one. The real strengths of this volume are its comprehensiveness and organization. Part I deals with the overarching issues of building codes, natural conditioning, and structural properties of each system; Part II covers each of the seven systems; and Part III presents detailed case studies of each.
