The Underground House Book

Stu Campbell

Garden Way Pub Co, 1990

Reference for building an energy-efficient underground home
"The Underground House Book" is typical of its time (1980), prompted by the Persian Gulf oil embargoes of the 1970s. With oil prices skyrocketing finding a way to build houses that would use less energy took on greater priority. In this book author Stu Campbell waxes prophetic, assuming that in a few years most new construction would be earth-sheltered. That of course didn't happen. But the ...

Phyllis Hobson

Garden Way Pub Co, 1983

Very Useful Book
This book is a comprehensive introduction to food drying. It includes reviews of commercially-built dehydrators, plans for making an electric dehydrator, directions for drying virtually every kind of food that can be dried, and recipes for using dried foods. The reviews are a bit dated by now, since all of the dehydrators described are of the old-fashioned box-type (like large microwave ...
