Really, I don’t know shit. Everything I write about in this booklet I have tons of people and books to be grateful for. Thanks to you for taking the time to share your precious wisdom. I definitely recommend reading these books. They are treasure-troves.
I wanted to put this in the middle of the booklet rather than the usual last page bibliography because I am so indebted and grateful for these awesome, inspiring people.
Phil Botwinick is the founder of a really awesome organization called Local Energy Solutions (check out the website at www.localenergycolutions.org). He organized the permaculture course I participated in a few years ago. He and his partner Tom Neilson are sorta stars in the documentary Escape from Suburbia (which I also recommend checking out). A good discussion with them is an entire education unto itself.
Sandor Ellix Katz is fucking awesome. Read his two books: Wild Fermentation and The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved: Inside America’s Underground Food Movements. Both are great. I got tons of recipes from him, including the ones in this zine for sauerkraut, pickles, farmer’s cheese, and yogurt.
Stephen Harrod Buhner is quite the badass as well. He wrote Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers. It’s one of the best books I’ve read. Tons of great information and recipes. He is my guide in all things beer. My beer recipe is from him.
Daniel Leader is a man of the loaf. His book Bread Alone: Bold Fresh Loaves From Your Own Hands is my bread bible. My recipe for focaccia/pizza crust is from him.
Richard Reynolds is a guerrilla gardener extraordinaire. His book On Guerilla Gardening is an awesome and inspiring read.
Preserving Food Without Freezing or Canning is a great book with lots of traditional methods of food preservation put together by the gardeners and farmers of Terre Vivante.
The documentary Crash Course by Chris Martenson is an excellent overview of why doing stuff like what I talk about in this book is not only a good idea, but pretty urgent. He delves into the issues of energy, environment, and economy and makes it accessible.
Other cool people that have written cool stuff: Weston A. Price, Sally Fallon, Bill Mollison, Wendell Berry, Michael Pollan, Barbara Kingsolver, Gary Paul Nabhan, etc. There are tons of awesome things out there.
I’d love to hear if you have any more recommendations: email me at sakauffman@yahoo.com
