The Natural House Catalogue: Everything You Need to Create an Environmentally Friendly Home - Hardcover
This guide was developed for the American market, a market which leads the way in environmental development and research. The wealth of information contained in the book is relevant to green technologies around the world. For this reason, Gaia Books has decided to make the book available in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The book offers information and guidance on every aspect of creating and maintaining an environmentally-friendly home. Part One presents 12 chapters, each one dedicated to a single subject, approached from many different directions. For example, chapter one - "Building" - provides information on topics from straw-bale construction and timber frames to Feng Shui and organic and Steiner design. The topic-by-page design gives an introduction to the system or product, explains how it qualifies as a "ecologically sound", and offers advice on what to look for, such as seals of approval and labelling systems. The chapters cover soft energy, water, sane electrics, lightnig, air, decoraton, furniture and funishings, the non-toxic home, backyard, recycling and green experts. Each chapter features shoppers' pages that present a selection of the products and services available. Case studies are integrated into the chapters throughout Part One, featuring the people living successfully using sustainable resources, and making a contribution to the development of green technology. Part Two is the directory. This lists the names and addresses of manufacturers, retail outlets and mail-order companies in the United States. This is supported by the resources pages citing relevant groups, organizations and publications. David Pearson is the author of "The Natural House Book" and "Earth to Spirit: In Search of Natural Architecture".
