Summary:
In Vernacular architecture, Henry Glassie focuses on the United States, on the way that common buildings can contribute to a more democratic history, but his range is wide. Drawing on experience in Ireland and England, in Sweden, Turkey, and Bangladesh, he lays out the general principles of research and presents the conclusions won from a life of close study in the field. Those conclusions challenge the elitist assumptions of a history based solely on writing. They celebrate the flexible genius of the men and women who have, in their daily labor, built the world.

Summary:
Straw bale houses are easy to build, inexpensive, energy efficient, environmentally friendly, attractive, and, most of all, can be designed to match the builder's personal space needs, aesthetics, and budget. It's no wonder that straw bale houses are growing in popularity. In "Straw Bale Building," professional bale builders Peter Mack and Chris Magwood lead the potential builder through the entire process of building a bale structure, tackling all the practical issues from how to find and choose bales; developing sound building plans; costs; roofing; electrical, plumbing, and heating systems; building code compliance and working with building inspectors; and special concerns for builders in northern climates. Peter Mack and Chris Magwood are professional bale house builders. Together they have constructed 15 straw bale houses and structures. They teach a popular, on-going straw bale building workshop in Ontario, Canada.
