By Lloyd E. Eighme
Have you ever wanted to escape from the problems of urban life? Those who manage to do it often find that it is not as easy and trouble free as they imagined.
The Country Way is for anyone who wants to live a country life, whether it is on a suburban lot or in the deep wilderness. In this easy-to-follow book you won’t find dire predictions for the future—just the facts on how to live a more sustainable life closer to nature. The country way of living does not involve so much where one lives as the person’s philosophy of life.
Dr. Eighme discusses such topics as: gardening, housing, heating, water supply, recreation, and earning a living in a rural environment. This information is common sense and practical. Charts and line illustrations provide clarity.
Professor of biology and agriculture at Pacific Union College, Dr. Eighme has developed a program in country-living education. He holds a PhD in entomology from Oregon State University. As one might expect, his main hobby is gardening and farming.
Paper, comb bound for easy reference, 184 pages.
