John Seymour

Corgi, 1978

An indispensable book for the smallholder.
The Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency is just that, how to get the best from a small garden, or a large farm, and everything in between. It is all covered, raising crops, and livestock, cure a ham, pickle onions, keep bees, generate power,and sink a well. The book is well written and I find myself refering to it constantly, it also makes a darn good read. The book is available in soft cover ...

Greatest Book Ever Written
This is the greatest self-sufficiency book ever written. That's my opinion. :) I highly recommend this to anyone who wishes to become less impactful on the environment and to have more money in their pockets thanks to this style of living. You can do a little or a lot, depending on what you have to work with initially. This is an awesome, non-hippie/tree-hugger book about self-sufficiency ...

The Four Most Common Haircuts That Anyone Can Master

6 reviews

L&J Publishing and Graphics, 2006

Simple, user-friendly techniques helped us save a lot of money!
I bought this book a couple years ago because we have four boys and my husband had always cut their hair. They were getting old enough that they wanted it to look a little more professional, so it was either spend a bunch at a barber or learn how to do it differently. This book was a huge help. My husband was able to learn new ways of cutting so that the boys were happy with the results, and ...

The Logic of Sufficiency

Thomas Princen

The MIT Press, 2005

A powerful argument, with loads of insight and examples
This is a very well-written book, whose importance cannot be emphasized strongly enough. It deserves to be read widely, not only by academics and policy makers, but by all those who are concerned with the status quo and know that something has to change in our way of doing things, but have a hard time seeing how. As a whole, the book presents a detailed and compelling response to those who ...

JEKYLL AND HYDE - THE WAR YEARS - VOL 3
This was the third of three Goebbel War Year diaries that I bought and read. Although not the easiest prose to read -- in part they were not written necessarily to be read but to be perhaps used in a memoir that was destined to never be written -- this and the other two diaries are fascinating books for people fascinated by that era. This diary ends on 9 April 45. According to the introduction ...

Jackie French

Self-sufficiency without the fanaticism
This was my introduction to Jackie French's books, and a real breath of fresh air. Finally, a book which gives practical, realistic suggestions for growing food and using what your garden gives, without trying to convert or brow-beat, as so many books in this genre do. While Jackie acknowledges the positive environmental impact of her fairly unique gardening style, her primary rationale for ...

Our Sufficiency in Christ

John MacArthur

Crossway Books, 1998

El Shaddai "The All Suffient One"
Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God, (2 Corinthians 3:5 RSV) John MacArthur argues that many local churches and God's followers do not trust in the sufficiency in Christ. The minister believes in the authority of God's word; They believe in salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ and as a guide for righteous living. They ...

The Complete Book of Edible Landscaping: Home Landscaping with Food-Bearing Plants and Resource-Saving ...

Rosalind Creasy

Sierra Club Books, 1982

Excellent book !
I grew up in a garden designed using this book, and now I am working on designing my own. It is a teriffic book with a lot of information about different edible plants and how to design an edible landscape. The only drawbacks are (1) it's a bit dated (new smaller rootstalks let you have smaller trees than you could in '82) and (2) it's a little bit california-centric.
