EXTREME SIMPLICITY: A GUIDE TO URBAN HOMESTEADING. 240 pages. 14.95 retail.
This is the book by Christopher and Dolores Nyerges which describes their 20 years in Highland Park doing all the things that most city people don’t do unless they move to a farm: Growing their own food, raising chickens for eggs, raising bees, raising a goose and pig, creating a productive worm farm/ compost pit, collecting rain water, recycling all their water into the yard, using solar hot water, creating some of their own electrical needs with solar panels, and trying to live ecologically in the city!
This book, with lots of illustrations and charts, is their way of documenting how they went from a run-down house in the neighborhood to a model of urban self-reliance – all on a very limited budget. As the reader, they take you along for the journey, step by step.
SELF-SUFFICIENT HOME: GOING GREEN AND SAVING MONEY. 265 pages. 19.95 retail.
This is a sequel to Extreme Simplicity, where Nyerges visited other people who were living self-reliance lifestyles, and profiles what they did and how you can do likewise. This is very much like the Dummy’s Guide to Self-Reliance, but with real people and their stories.
The book begins with the proper way to site and build and house, and how to make modifications on a home already-built. Then there is a chart for calculating your electrical use so you know how to size a solar electrical system for your home. Each component is described. We visit with people who use solar electricity daily, and we learn how they did it, and the challenges they face.
The book covers the practicality of solar water heating, toilet alternatives, home food production, alternate methods of transportation, and interviews with people who are living the life.
According to actor Carel Struycken, “I highly recommend this book to people seeking to better themselves and their daily lives.”
