520 2  "An account of Boye's experiences building and occupying 
       alternative, sustainable houses"--|cProvided by publisher.
520 2  "Living simply isn't always simple. When Alan Boye first 
       lived in sustainable housing, he was young, idealistic, 
       and not much susceptible to compromise--until rattlesnakes,
       black widow spiders, and loneliness drove him out of the 
       utilities-free yurt he'd built in New Mexico. Thirty-five 
       years later, he decided to try again. This time, with an 
       idealism tempered by experience and practical 
       considerations, Boye and his wife constructed an off-the-
       grid, energy-efficient, straw bale house in Vermont. 
       Sustainable Compromises chronicles these two remarkable 
       attempts to live simply in two disparate American eras. 
       Writing with hard-won authority and humor, Boye takes up 
       the 'how-to' practicalities of 'building green, ' from 
       finances to nuts and bolts to strains on friends and 
       family. With Walden as a historical and philosophical 
       touchstone and his own experience as a practical guide, he
       also explores the ethical and environmental concerns that 
       have framed such undertakings from Thoreau's day to our 
       own. A firsthand account of the pleasures and pitfalls of 
       living simply, his book is a deeply informed and engaging 
       reflection on what sustainability really means--in 
       personal, communal, ethical, and environmental terms"--
