Synopsis
This text contains easy-to-follow diagrams, clear instructions and complete materials lists to enable readers to construct tent-like structures based on designs developed by North American plains Indians and Mongols. Many principles used in modern homes have their origins in these primitive dwellings, and many innovative solutions to the problems of heating, lighting and ventilation are exemplified in the simple engineering of tipis and yurts. The book also includes sections on the functional and spiritual role of these nomadic dwellings and customizing them with solar-power and wooden platforms.
