Environmentalism propaganda masquerading as human biology.
I am very interested in learning about human biology and ordered this book on this site. Boy!, was I disappointed! This book is more intent on propagating the global warming myth and other Chicken-Little-the-sky-is-falling-hysteria. There is not very much on simply human biology. This book is going straight to the trash. It's a total waste of my money. Interesting note: The author ...

The Primer on Natural Building
If you're interested in building a natural home (cob, rammed earth, straw-bale, earthship, whatever), this is your primer. The author has done his homework and presents the description, pros/cons and pitfalls of each type of construction. He is very honest about just how "do-it-yourself" each type can be, and how much it will cost you. He also covers passive and active solar design, natural ...

Unique Home Improvement Book
I really liked this book! I've read my share of home improvement books, but this one is special, not only because of its "green" focus, but also because it tells you what these improvements cost and what they will save you.

contrary
This book is more than enlightening in describing and explaining in detail how we have impacted and abused our environment and what we can do to counter act some of the damage. The one thing that I find ironic about preserving the "natural way" is that scientists in all of the science type books that I have read, want to stop the natural pro-creation of man, yet clone animals and man Wow! Wierd, ...

The Solar House: Passive Heating and Cooling

Amazing book - quite possibly the BEST on solar building
My copy of this book is a mess. It has highlighting and notes all throughout the pages and looks well worn even though I've only had the book for a year. When the time came to do some studying on solar design, this was the book that was recommended to me. And for good reason - it packs a wallop and provides SO MUCH great information in its pages. At the time I got the book I was somewhat of ...

Never got the Book
I waited for almost a month for my book. Contacted seller and never heard until they wanted me to delete my bad review, claiming it wasn't their fault my book wasn't here. Failed assignments in my class because I lacked the presence of my textbook. I did however get a full refund BUT still no book. Don't order from this seller, they aren't reliable.
