Low-Tech Magazine 2012-2018 Kindle Edition

by Kris De Decker (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.9 out of 5 stars 22 ratings
Low-tech Magazine underscores the potential of past and often forgotten technologies and how they can inform sustainable energy practices. Sometimes, past technologies can be copied without any changes. More often, interesting possibilities arise when older technology is combined with new knowledge and new materials, or when past concepts and traditional knowledge are applied to modern technology. Inspiration is also to be found in the so-called "developing" world, where resource constraints often lead to inventive, low-tech solutions. Contains 159 images.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Discusses a lot of still viable old tech, gets you thinking in broader terms about technology

    Great reading. Lots of older ideas from transport to heating to farming fruits farther north than we do today. Many of our solutions are unnecessary, they simply make someone more money.

    Check out the website first, everything is online for free. it's worth the buy to have it in my hand instead of only online.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal content, formatting flawed
    Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2020
    Format: Kindle
    I recently discovered Low-Tech Magazine. The articles are well researched and thoughtful, and I was excited to see that there are offline reading options. However, the e-book edition is flawed in a few major ways:

    1. This edition shows just a selection of images, rather than all of them on the website. The content may refer to something that simply is not there.
    2. The images for each article are at the beginning of the article, rather than alongside the relevant content. E-books are more difficult to flip pages than a printed book, so this is rather cumbersome.
    3. The articles are ordered newest to oldest. This makes it difficult to follow, when some of the newer articles refer to older articles, but you haven't yet read them. It should be oldest to newest.
    4. URLs are not displayed as links, so you have to copy/paste them to a browser to follow them.

    The magazine have acknowledged some of these issues with Volume 1, and Volume 2 has made some corrections. (The e-book for Volume 2 is not yet released.) However, they should release a second edition of Volume 1 with some formatting improvements.
