Book Review: Living Off the Grid
Summary: 4 Stars

Well written. A good approach to educating those who need the very basic knowledge of the subject. Not writtem using technical terms, but using down-to-earth, everyday language we can all understand. I would highly recommend this book to novice and veteran alike.

Summary of Living off the Grid: A Simple Guide to Creating and Maintaining a Self-reliant Supply of Energy, Water, Shelter and More

A how-to handbook to free yourself from the constraints of modern living.

In daily life, we can take control of the resources and services we depend on. Electricity and energy don?t have to come off the public utility grid?alternatives abound in solar, wind, and water generated power. Design decisions can drastically affect power consumption, and bio-diesel and alternative fuels can help break the oil habit. Dave Black describes alternatives for eco-pimping your home and lifestyle for independence, economy, and a more integrated way of life. Equally valuable for the urban dweller vaguely concerned about the size of his or her carbon footprint and the rural self-sufficiency enthusiast, Living Off the Grid can help anyone take control of his or her life and way of living. 50 black-and-white illustrations
