Solviva, by Anna Edey

An amazing book about Anna's vision and commitment to living sustainably and as close to in harmony with nature as possible for her. Starting in 1976 she discovered little by little, methods of sustainable building, composting waste on small and large scales, and ways of living using today's technology and knowledge that reduce pollution and waste and at the same time reduce cost of living and improving quality of life and security anywhere on earth. She lives on Martha's Vineyard and her home and greenhouse need no external heat besides the sun and yet remain well over 70*, and provide her with an income and literally tons of fresh vegetables and greens, even in the dead of winter. Full of color pics and illustrations, and instructions to help others to learn to live sustainably. A truly amazing book and woman!
