This is a beautiful book. It has full color photos and it's printed on thick and flexible paper stock. It has 352 pages full of wonderful ways to get on the way to organic living. What I adore about this book is it has a ton of very simple ways to change even the most practical things you do everyday to make them organic. Most of the ideas would work no matter if you live in a small apartment or on a homestead.
Basically, "A Slice of the Organic Life" attempts to set you on a path to a more organic lifestyle, by doing the things you can do now in most any living situation or lifestyle. It's not an exhaustive guide, it does just what the title implies- a slice of the organic life (not the whole pie!).
The book is broken into three sections of organic ideas as follows: 1. No Need for a Yard, 2. Roof, Terrace, Patio or Tiny Yard, 3. Yard, Community garden, or Field. Just a few examples of chapters included are: Clean without harsh chemicals, Save energy the easy way, Keep Urban Honey Bees, Make Simple Preserves & Chutneys, Preserve fruit, Harvest & store orchard fruits, Keep chickens & Keep Pigs.
If you're just starting to get really interested in practical organic living, this book will be an enormous help. If you are already living a strictly organic lifestyle, the organic concepts here probably won't be anything new to you.
