The New Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency

John Seymour is one of my favorite authors and I LOVE Dorling-Kindersley who publishes it :-)

This book is the perfect book for people who want to gain more control over their lives and live healthily in cooperation with the environment. You'll learn everything from rearing cattle, growing onions, harness natural power and furnishing a dairy. The perfect starting point for a better life away from the grind. And the best thing is that it's written in a very introductory manner so you don't have to be raised on a farm to understand it.
