Book Reviews of Design of Straw Bale Buildings; The State of the Art
Book Review: best technical advice
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the best I've read on straw bale construction. It explains everything from a technical viewpoint and is written by professional engineers. The emphasis is on straw bale building in California, with the necessity to write a building code and the overriding concern of earthquake protection. But that means they examine issues carefully and it's easy to extract what's useful in different circumstances.
