Solar Living Sourcebook
30th Anniversary Edition!
$35.00
As
Real Goods
enters its 30th year, we are proud to release this new edition of our
Solar Living Sourcebook.
In these pages you'll find the latest nuts-and-bolts information on how to harvest renewable energy sources to power your home; how to sell that renewable energy back to your utility company; how to site and build your dream eco-home; how to minimize your fossil fuel use; and more.
In fact, our fully updated, 30th Anniversary Edition Solar Living Sourcebook, edited by
Real Goods President and Founder John Schaeffer
, is the ultimate resource on renewable energy, sustainable living, alternative construction, green building, homesteading, off-the-grid living and alternative transportation.
600+ pages, softcover. Printed August 2007. USA.
This
30th Anniversary Edition
showcases a NEW chapter on Relocalization, including localizing energy, food, goods and services - a movement whose strategic response to the problems of peak oil and climate change may provide the primary solution to our present dilemma. The Sourcebook also features NEW chapters on Permaculture, Biodynamics and Natural Burial. As aging boomers consider what's buried along with our loved ones (vast amounts of embalming fluid, metals and hardwoods) we respectfully offer this chapter as an alternative and the ultimate back-to-the-land movement.
Plus, you'll find fully rewritten chapters on Land and Shelter and Solar Water Heating; updated sections on Sustainable Transportation and Solar Utility Intertie; and our comprehensive Sustainable Living Library with several hundred more books than ever before.This incomparable resource also includes more than 50 pages of maps, wiring diagrams, formulae, charts, solar sizing worksheets and much more.
Whether you're a layperson or a professional,
The Sourcebook
puts the latest research and newest products at your fingertips to make sustainable living a reality.
The Sourcebook
is also a superior classroom text.
"I can't believe I actually installed it all myself! I couldn't have done it without the Solar Living Sourcebook Gaiam Real Goods products and your great techs."

"The new Sourcebook is even better than the one before, as usual. It may well be the best catalog of anything, anywhere. In any case, it remains one of the few that instruct readers on how to choose the item that best fits their need."
