The Winter Harvest Handbook by Eliot Coleman (Paperback - Chelsea Green Pub Co)
Description:
Choosing locally grown organic food is a sustainable living trend that's taken hold throughout North America. Celebrated farming expert Eliot Coleman helped start this movement with The New Organic Grower published 20 years ago. He continues to lead the way, pushing the limits of the harvest season while working his world-renowned organic farm in Harborside, Maine. Now, with his long-awaited new book, The Winter Harvest Handbook, anyone can have access to his hard-won experience. Gardeners and farmers can use the innovative, highly successful methods Coleman describes in this comprehensive handbook to raise crops throughout the coldest of winters. Building on the techniques that hundreds of thousands of farmers and gardeners adopted from The New Organic Grower and Four-Season Harvest, this new book focuses on growing produce of unparalleled freshness and quality in customized unheated or, in some cases, minimally heated, movable plastic greenhouses.

Tree Houses by David R. Stiles (Paperback - Illustrated)
Tree Houses capture the imagination of the child in all of us, and they have never been more popular than they are today.

With more than 200,000 copies of their popular Weekend Project"books sold. David and Jeanie Stiles have become America's First Couple of do-it-yourself woodworking. In Tree Houses You Can Build, they explain basic building procedures through clear, simple instructions, and nontechnical line drawings that illustrate every step of the project, from the earliest sketches to the final coat of paint. Rather than focusing on specific, ironclad plans that do not suit the realities of tree house construction, the Stileses outline five basic designs that can be adapted to virtually any set of conditions -- one tree, two trees, three trees, even a free-standing platform design for where no trees exist. In all instances, they emphasize safety for both builder and children.
