“Nancy Jack Todd tells a marvelous story. This first-hand account of New Alchemy’s visionary, rigorous, and phenomenal projects to sustain life give us all hope. This is a book that I’d like to share with local farmers, sprawl fighters, and conscientious citizens. Here we have grounds for the hope of living simply, meeting our basic needs, and restoring health to the world, and on a shoestring budget.”
-Stephanie Mills, author of Epicurean Simplicity
"A clear, inspirational story that shows the nitty-gritty of how talent coalesces around important issues and how creative minds work together. This book is a necessary read for any idealist who aspires to change the world through architecture, design, the environment, and science."
--Donald Watson, Architect
