- The authors and publisher are really to be congratulated on producing such a sumptuous book Review by Rob Hopkins, co-founder of the Transition Movement - from Permaculture magazine

...in many ways it has the feel of a modern cookbook, awash with gorgeous pictures of delicious meals with a groovy chef at work, making good food beautiful, everyday, and relevant. The authors and publisher are really to be congratulated on producing such a sumptuous book, lavishly illustrated with photos of cob that look good enough to eat, and deliciously curvy organic-looking houses. This book is really what natural building needs: a glossy, gorgeous guide to this most ancient of techniques, one which makes it relevant to a whole new generation of self builders. As we begin to pull together the skills and practices that we will need in order to navigate energy descent, Weisman and Bryce have given us a powerful guide to low impact sheltermaking and to the many practical and beautiful uses to which we can put the earth beneath our feet.
