HOUSE MADE OF GROUND: WHEREIN ONE MAY LEARN TO MAKE THE EARTH THEIR HOME

Jim Kristofic has written about much of Navajo country. When his daughter passes away, his heart goes into the earth. He decides to create a home – what the Navajo call a hogan – to honor her. In Taos, New Mexico, where he spent a decade learning from many sustainable builders, he takes readers through a daily experience of how to build an affordable, sustainable, efficient shelter mostly using natural materials and with no power tools. With hand-drawn illustrations and careful insights into natural building, House Made of Ground is a descent through grief and a testament of how to live with the earth and to live with yourself. All proceeds from the sale of this book go to promote and build sustainable housing on the Navajo Nation. Visit us at housemadeofground.com View Less
