The best guide to self sufficiency. From growing your own food and preserving it, to keeping animals and useful skills, John Seymour writes with the clarity and wisdom of someone who has been there and done it. If I had to choose only one book from my library this would be it.

De resultaten van langdurige praktijkervaring met zelfvoorziening teneinde gezonder, onafhankelijker en kreatiever te kunnen leven werden gebundeld in dit boek. De achtergrondideeen krijgen hier praktisch gestalte, door voor alle zelfvoorzieningsmogelijkheden op een agrarisch bedrijfsmodel een duidelijke werkbeschrijving te geven. Een en ander is vindingrijk en zeer gedetailleerd beschreven, show more hoewel gebezigde methoden erg provisorisch zijn. Tekst: kleingedrukt, duidelijk leesbaar lettertype, soms in vrij moeilijke stijl. Prima indeling met inhoudsoverzichten. Veel fraaie kleurenillustraties en zwart/wit tekeningen. Aanvullende schema's, goede werktekeningen. Voor ieder met interesse in een alternatief leefpatroon. Een boek dat ideeen in begrijpelijke en zichtbare daden omzet.
