Building and Customizing an Affordable, Energy-Efficient Home

Prefabulous and Sustainable dispels the negative myths associated with prefab homes and shows the reader how beautiful and remarkably green prefab homes are. In this guide to prefab home-building author Sheri Koones, demystifies the prefabricated house by using 25 unique homes to showcase how factory-built homes are greener, more efficient, sturdier, and more cost-effective than site-built homes. The book is divided into 3 categories--green, greener, greenest--and the homes featured vary in style, design, type of construction, and size. All of the homes included in Prefabulous and Sustainable have been customized to create a level of sustainability beyond the inherent qualities of prefab. Written in an easy to understand and approachable style, author Sheri Koones walks the readers through each of the homes, explaining the materials, strategies, and systems used to create a sustainable living environment. Photographs, captions, floor plans, and sidebars illustrate to readers that green living is not as complicated as one might think, and attainable for everyone. Also included is a resource guide, making this book a hands-on guide for homebuilders.

Paths to Ecological Order

We are living beyond our means, running up debts both economic and ecological,consuming the planet's resources at rates not remotely sustainable. But it's hard to imagine adifferent way. How can we live without cheap goods and easy credit? How can we consume withoutconsuming the systems that support life? How can we live well and live within our means? InTreading Softly, Thomas Princen helps us imagine an alternative. We need, hesays, a new normal, an ecological order that is actually economical with resources, that embraceslimits, that sees sustainable living not as a "lifestyle" but as a long-term connection tofresh, free-flowing water, fertile soil, and healthy food. The goal would be tolive well by living well within the capacities of our resources. Princen doesn't offer a quick fix-- there's no list of easy ways to save the planet to hang on the refrigerator. He gives us insteada positive, realistic sense of the possible, with an abundance of examples, concepts, and tools forimagining, then realizing, how to live within our biophysical means.

The True Story of Sir Nicholas Winton and the Prague Kindertransport

Sir Nicholas Winton rescued 669 Jewish children from Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia at the brink of World War II. Most never saw their parents again. This is his story. *Now a major motion picture starring Sir Anthony Hopkins and Helena Bonham Carter* In 1938, 29-year-old "Nicky" cancelled a ski trip and instead spent nine months masterminding a seemingly impossible plan to rescue hundreds of Jewish children and find them homes in the United Kingdom. Over 6,000 people are alive today because of his efforts. What motivated an ordinary man to do something so extraordinary? This book, written by his daughter, Barbara, explores the 106-year life of an incredible humanitarian, a man whose legacy only came to public light decades later. His life story is a clarion call to choose action over apathy in the face of injustice, and a reminder that every one of us can change the world. "If something is not impossible, then there must be a way to do it."

Military Classics Series

"Colonel Gregory 'Pappy' Boyington, USMC (Retired), has written one of the great books of World War II. It might be described as the story of a wild, hard drinking, professional Marine flyer who was one of the most unconventional heroes of the war. Winners of the nation's highest honor are inspired to rise above themselves and set an example for all who respect them. Pappy Boyington had no desire to change his ways because he happened to be lucky and fearless, and a competent leader of men as wild and independent as he was. He had never let anyone kick him around, and he saw no reason to let the Japanese do so in the air or after he was taken prisoner. Winner of a Medal of Honor and a Navy Cross for his achievements while leading the Black Sheep squadron in the South Pacific, Boyington had 20 months as a prisoner of the Japanese in which to gain emotional maturity. As a returning war 'hero' he was pushed around more than he wanted to be, and his fall from grace made every newspaper in the country. It was not easy for him to find his way back to respectability, but he made it eventually. This is a wonderful story of self-discovery, and Boyington pulls no punches in the telling. A Marine flyer since 1935, Boyington was encouraged to resign his commission to fly with the Flying Tigers in China. There he got credit for shooting down six Japanese planes. But when he applied for reinstatement in the Marine Corps, he found himself disgraced for 'having left the Corps in time of national emergency.' For nearly three months he parked cars in a Seattle garage until, in desperation, he telegraphed an Under Secretary of the Navy. In a few days, Boyington was on his way to the South Pacific, where he was given command of a squadron of misfits. These pilots, unwanted by other outfits, and led by the oldest active Marine fighter pilot, made on of the great records of the war. The heart of this book is the colorful story of Boyington's Black Sheep Squadron"--Book jacket

A poignant masterpiece of wrenching personal expression from the author of On the Road and The Dharma Bums

In this 1962 novel, Kerouac's alter ego Jack Duluoz, overwhelmed by success and excess, gravitates back and forth between wild binges in San Francisco and an isolated cabin on the California coast where he attempts to renew his spirit and clear his head of madness and alcohol. Only nature seems to restore him to a sense of balance. In the words of Allen Ginsberg, Big Sur "reveals consciousness in all its syntactic elaboration, detailing the luminous emptiness of his own paranoiac confusion."
