Using Earth is Easy,
By Marco Milazzo (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Building with Earth: Design and Technology of a Sustainable Architecture (Paperback)
This Gernot Mink's book is a great purchase. Its a practical technician book, with all needed information about buinding with loan, clavey soil, prefabricated panels, etc.. I think it is designed to builders and architects, but it is very easy to understand and can be read by everyone.

top rated earth construction reference,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Building with Earth: Design and Technology of a Sustainable Architecture (Paperback)
As a professional natural builder with about a dozen straw/clay and straw bale structures under my belt, I have to say that Gernot Minke's work is thorough, informative and inspiring. This book resides in a happy place on my reference shelf. It would be great if we had the same building research laboratory work going on here in the states. I would love to sit down with Gernot over a couple of craft brews!

A must for innovative builders,
By Reinaldo Martinez "odlanierzenitram" (San Antonio de los Altos, Venezuela) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Building with Earth: Design and Technology of a Sustainable Architecture (Paperback)
This book I deem a 'collection piece'. It presents sufficient formulas, graphics, tables and methods to be able to face any earthen construction project.
Clear, a bit upbeat in which language is concerned (no susprise coming from the Germans), but with time you get used to it. I woudn't risk lending it.
