Yurt's - Living In The Round

I heartily recommend this book to anyone interested in simple, sustainable living, enduring vernacular architecture, or the possibilities inherent in living in the round.

Becky Kemery has always been a pioneer and this book is an answer to a question that will be asked more and more over the next years--how to live simply, affordably, in tune with ourselves, each other, and the earth.

Yurts: Living in the Round is full of practical information that's written in a clear and concise prose. It's packed with beautiful photographs and is graced by delightful stories of people who have made their next home a yurt. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's pondering ways to live more sustainably on this precious Earth.
Dan Chiras, author of The New Ecological Home, and The Natural House.

A beautiful, inspiring and educational book!
