5.0 out of 5 stars You'll want all the books in this series, February 16, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Earthship: How to Build Your Own, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
I went to Taos and toured some of the "Earth Ship" houses, and they were wonderful. I bought the books there and read them cover to cover (on the way home). These books are full of good, practical, information. If you have access to old tires, empty cans, clay mud, you could build your own house. I haven't done a house yet, but I've done some other interesting projects using these principles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Building Method Using Car Tires and Aluminum Cans, October 1, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Earthship: How to Build Your Own, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
These books are way ahead of their time. The author first describes the idea of a self-contained "earthship" -- a home that provides for it's own power, sewage, food and water needs. He then talks about the structure, the ideas behind it, and why it works. The rest of the book is all about how to actually build one. Don't pass this up, once you get the idea in your head, you'll want to build one of your own!

5.0 out of 5 stars a new way of living for the health of our planet, May 22, 1999
This review is from: Earthship: How to Build Your Own, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
This book could change the world. Yes, a sweeping claim but just check it out if you are interested in living in harmony with the earth. Imagine living in a home you built yourself of materials all in overabundance in the states. Imagine never having to pay another utility bill! This book has it all baby! I'd like to build the world an earthship. A revolutionary idea for our screwy times> BUY IT READ IT GET IT DO IT!!!
