A TINY HOME TO CALL YOUR OWN:
Living Well in Just Right Houses
I encourage you to take a look at the Tiny Home Book. I think it speaks to what our hearts long for... a place we can afford to live with love and laughter. All my life I have lived in small houses. My wife and I raised five beautiful children in a 1,200 square foot house. And we owned that house. We were not strapped with with a 30 year mortgage. We didn't have to work night and day to keep a roof over our heads. We had time for children and for ourselves. "A Tiny Home to Call Your Own" is a must read.
- Larry Haun, author, The Very Efficient Carpenter
This is the perfect book for a society living under the pall of half-million-dollar homes. Compact houses are cozy, affordable, energy frugal, and easy to keep - a perfect choice for owner-builders and those who favor creativity over pretense.
- Richard Freudenberger, Publisher, BackHome Magazine
CHICKEN TRACTOR:
The Permaculture Guide to Happy Hens & Healthy Soil
Changing climate patterns and chemically contaminated foods are making homegrown food incredibly valuable. The old-fashioned practice of raising a few chickens in the backyard is comiing back into vogue. Chicken Tractor shows how easy and profitable it can be to add chickens to your growing season.
- Gene Logsdon, Contrary Farmer
In a world full of theory and unapplied academics, Chicken Tractor shines as a sterling example of a practical prototype developed by a dirt-under-the-fingernails, creative thinker. Andy Lee's simple elegance in design and description challenge me afresh to smack my forehead and exclaim "now why didn't I think of that"! In our efforts to bring new paradigmes to poultry production, Andy and I share a common vision, a brand-new ethics of excellence for proper models, delicious food and size-neutral, profit potentials.
- Joel Salatin, author, Pasture Poultry Profits

A Tiny Home to Call Your Own:
Living Well in Just Right Houses
by Andy Lee and Patricia Foreman, 208ppb
You can live in an attractive, aesthetically appealing, upscale house AND you can do it so that it is quality built, architecturally beautiful, highly marketable and profitable. Small is beautiful and functional in housing. Smaller scale homes can be more livable, cozy, homey, enjoyable, low maintenance, and easy to clean. Tiny houses (300 sq.ft. to around 1,000 sq.ft.) can be more affordable and socially responsible than the current trend of "McMansionization" that is chewing up America. Some of them can be built on existing lots without requiring new land purchase.
Impress neighbors with style and freedom
rather than with large scale, impersonally built square footage.
Uses for Tiny Houses include:
• Anyone who wants less space to maintain in exchange for more time, freedom and money.
• For folks to have an an independent place of their own, yet be close by, such as an elderly parent, student, or return-to-the-nest kid.
• Newly weds, newly divorced, singles (for what ever reason) and for those with hermit-like tendencies who simply want their own space — to themselves.
• Your personal "away space", home office, professional work space, writer's or artist's studio or rental for extra passive income.
• As a starter house desgined for future expansion as the family grows and money becomes available.
• To host guests separately, they can be close by, but not" in your face" space. You know those visiting "in-law" stories.
• A vacation home by the lake or in the woods — that doesn't cost a bundle AND has all the creature comforts of home. Table of Contents

FAMILY FRIENDLY FARMING: A Multigenerational Home-Based Business Testament
Joel Salatin (and family), 400ppb.
Family friendly farming offers hope for stressed families, dissatisfied employees, and hurried-harried lifestyles. It is no secret that family farms are in trouble. The average age of US farmers is over 60 and the brightest, best young people flee from farming. This leaves our precious rural landscape not cared for by true stewards of the land. Owners who think in terms of seasons and generations, instead of 4th quarter profits. Joel and his family have demonstrated, and openly shared, their experiences, both successes and failures about what it take to have a successful, Earth friendly family farm. If you are thinking about farming this book is not only one you must read - but it is one you must study. Hats off and a standing ovation to the Salatin family for helping show us the way to a better paradigm of food production. | Table of Contents

MXM: Mankind out of Mutant,
A Personal Quest for a Creed to Live
Maya de Mondaudouin, 104ppb
One of the first eco-theology books, and most simply written, MXM means the mutation of humanity into a destructive, semiconscious species in our modern world. It is also the formula for our conscious evolution and salvation. MXM extends our awareness of historical time and lets us observe culture and human evolution over several millennia.
The author was an accomplished architect and designed US Embassies all over the world. She served in US Foreign Service and was truly a world citizen. After a lifetime of service, travel, study and reflection she wrote MXM and worked on the manuscript until just before her death. She left it as a part of her estate and as a final swan song gift, to you, the reader, with hope and love to the future generations.
