That alone should tell you this is a keeper. Speak with folks interested in land, garden, animal husbandry, etc, and this book WILL come up eventually. Everyone has a copy or knows someone who does. More information than most of us will ever need, yet the thin newsprint pages that make this phonebook size book lap reading in your favorite chair (or tree stump) will keep you coming back again and again. If someone responds to an earlier edition with good info, Carla Emery includes that information (in their own words) in her next edition. Reading this is like sitting down in a room full of homesteaders and listening to them gab. Sure, you may never need to know how to give birth by yourself in the winter, but isn't it great to know the information is there is you do need it? Maybe you won't need to know how to birth a lamb, but that part on growing grain might be just what you need. If you can do it on a homestead, it IS in this book. Get the latest edition, and rest easy knowing Carla has your back. I just skimmed through this giant book, and I can see how useful it would be if I lived in the country, had a farm, or gardened more seriously than I currently do. This book is like several books smashed into one. It covers almost all bases - growing, preserving, cooking veggies, grains, legumes, etc, raising animals and maybe even eating them too (I skipped the last chapters about animals). keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Carla Emery is spoken of reverently by many in the self sufficiency community and as far as I can tell may be the American equivalent of John Seymour, the old hand who has done it all and speaks from experience (in the rare instance that she can't claim expertise, she calls one in to speak on the topic). Self sufficiency is not a hobby but a lifestyle and as such encompasses all aspects of life. Emery seems to understand this. ( )
