I had the loveliest dinner last night. A true "Yurt Dinner", there were three couples who live in yurts, one couple that has spent the last 7 years building a hexagonal, yurt-like strawbale home, and two couples seriously considering yurt living.
Kim and Russell, our hosts, recently purchased a magnificent yurt from a couple in their 70's (heading south to escape north Idaho's cold, grey winters). The yurt sits on a bluff with a view of valley and mountains for miles around.
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.

A beautiful, inspiring and educational book!
