Satisfied Customer.......2007-09-27
I haven't completed reading this book, however, the introduction, which provides the author's philosophy, is excellent. The chapters that I've read (about half the book) are giving me the information I hoped for. In that I am looking for a piece of rural land on which to build an organic, family farm, it will take some time to apply all that this book has to offer. I am confident it will.
Greatest Book Ever Written.......2007-01-05
This is the greatest self-sufficiency book ever written. That's my opinion. :) I highly recommend this to anyone who wishes to become less impactful on the environment and to have more money in their pockets thanks to this style of living. You can do a little or a lot, depending on what you have to work with initially. This is an awesome, non-hippie/tree-hugger book about self-sufficiency free of all of the "lefty green" dogma you usually have to put up with. Great stuff!!!

good value.......2000-04-27
This is a good planning guide - an excellent starting point - and a good value for the price. It doesn't cover much in the way of plant reccomendations, but the ideas related to space planning were very helpful

Sue Robishaw takes an unusual approach in her examination of of homesteading. She converses with two imaginary characters, J. J. and CindyLou, to tell the story of Robishaw's and her husband's move to rural Northern Michigan nearly two decades ago. The three commiserate about the Robishaws' trials, learning experiences, and misconceptions. With the help of J. J. and CindyLou, Robishaw simply, often hilariously, tells her story and offers no one-size-fits-all approach to homesteading. She also describes, in great detail, gardening tips, how to construct a solar oven, recipes, ways to become more self-sufficient by growing your own food, how to build a simple structure such as a home or outbuilding, and how to deal with critters. While filled with practical how-to information, the real joy of Homesteading Adventures is the story of the Robishaws life and experiences, told with gentle humor and affection, and mercifully free of self-righteousness. It's a real treat to read.
Customer Reviews:
"The entire book is written in quotes with lots of exclamation points!".......2007-04-09
"I swear!"
"Really?!"
"Yes!"
"No, way!"
"The entire book! There are some chunks of interspersed instructional writing, but otherwise the entire book is written in bad dialogue between two fictitious characters! They're spunky and bright-eyed and new to homesteading and have lots of questions! So you get to read all about their adventures as though you're overhearing a conversation between them! And they say everything with exclamation points!"
"But, isn't that annoying and distracting?"
"Why yes, it is. I was disappointed because I'd heard this was a good primer with lots of helpful suggestions and ideas to help people see for themselves that a basic homesteading lifestyle is within reach for us all... but I honestly couldn't get past the third page."
"That's too bad."
"Yup."
Seriously. Three stars for allegedly having good info, but to be honest I couldn't actually read it.
Wonderful Introduction To "The Road Less Traveled"!.......2002-06-13
Adherents of the `60s counterculture back-to-the-land philosophy will find much to enjoy and savor in this humorous but fact-filled book on homesteading self-sufficiency. I am lucky enough to have had a personally autographed copy of author Sue Robishaw's wonderful book "Homesteading Adventures" sitting comfortably on one of my bookshelves for years. I recently re-read it, and found it as refreshing and as practical a guide to exploring the possibilities of walking on the self-sufficient side of the dirt road as one might find out there in the Ethernet. Miss Robishaw uses the device of two fictional neophytes to pose the important questions regarding how one begins the process of shifting gears and thought processes toward increasing levels of personal responsibility for living "off the grid". And, by the time one is through casually rummaging through the pages, you find that she has cracked more than a single smile or two onto your face while also relating to you a lot of important and useful data about the possibilities for living a less materialistic and more user-friendly alternative lifestyle.
In these days of ever greater complexity and ever more complete dependence on others for the woof and warp of our daily existence, for food, water, shelter, sewage, electricity, entertainment, transportation, and clothing, one is perhaps a bit startled to discover that we can each be much more actively and "proactively" involved in this process, that each of us can garner much of what we need to survive and prosper as human beings on the surface of the planet. It often comes as a surprise because many of us are so deeply embedded in the ethos of the material culture that surrounds us that we rarely are able to independently determine or recognize how many other alternative ways to live exist, and which are there for us to employ if we have the vision, nerve, and energy to do so. In her own way, the author helps us to come to this conclusion very quietly, gently, and with more than a little humor. She is well grounded, and along the way shows us how we can do everything from build our own cabin or earth home to how to make a small but eficient greenhouse to how to design, build, and erect a functioning windmill.
While Sue Robishaw is certainly not a self-sufficiency visionary like Scott and Helen Nearing ("The Good Life"), she does provide a vital and valuable service to the reader by offering a lot of practical lessons regarding how to begin and sustain one's journey toward greater personal responsibility for one's own way of living. It is said that many millions of Americans continue to examine the basis of their own lives with an inchoate and poorly articulated dissatisfaction with the materialistic way of life they are currently embroiled in. To the extent a single book can make a practical difference in helping such folk recognize, understand, and act on this alternative vision regarding the manner in which one lives his or her life, this book is a terrific aid and a practical how-to manual rolled into one paperback volume. I highly recommend it. Enjoy!
Ideas for homesteading in the frozen North.......2002-01-06
This book is a collection of ideas for homesteaders or others who want to live simply off the land. Robishaw describes a wide variety of projects and activities that she and her husband have done to survive and thrive that come with a minimum cost to the pocketbook and the environment. These include a windmill powered well, a solar powered electrical system, a solar cooker, a solar food dryer, outhouses, homemade wine and vinegar, gardening, saving seeds, and making maple syrup. Robishaw presents the information in the form of a series of dialogues between CindyLou and JJ, a pair of newcomers to the woods, and Sue, an old-hand at homesteading. The dialogues are meant to be cute and humorous, and perhaps lighten the tone of the text. However, I found them a bit tiresome and contrived in places. The book is not filled with detailed plans for constructing equipment, although there are a few useful diagrams. Instead, its value is in stirring up ideas in the minds of the readers, and giving encouragement to go ahead and try something new because it just might work. Set in Northern Michigan, it is especially relevant for readers from far northern climates.
Great Story!.......2000-04-12
This book was a joy to read. Tucked within the true-to-life and often humorous accounts of the fictional couple's move to ruraldom are excellent instructions and guidelines for homesteading.
I highly recommend this book, although I wouldn't advise its use as a primary resource for homesteading.

"In a small garden," observes designer Jill Billington, "everything counts. Meticulous planning is essential." In Really Small Gardens, she walks the reader through all the important steps: determining needs and priorities; selecting plants and materials that make the most of limited space; devising ways of making the garden seem more spacious; and creating a distinctive style to help unify the space and evoke atmosphere.

Enhanced with 325 superb color photos and illustrations as well as ideas for every imaginable type of space and condition, Really Small Gardens is a pleasure to peruse and an invaluable source of inspiration and good sense. Jill Billington is a leading garden designer; her previous books include Architectural Foliage, Small Gardens with Style, The Summer Garden, and Planting Companions.

Practical planning for the small garden.......2003-05-15
Really Small Gardens.
This is the Royal Horticultural Society's "practical guide to gardening in a truly small space" and it is a very comprehensive guide to planning a small garden. The author has covered all the planning bases in a down-to-earth, practical style.
Written by a garden designer whose tiny gardens have won awards at the famed Chelsea Flower Show in England, this book has a wealth of ideas for gardens, courtyards, rooftops and alleyways - all presented with the eye of the artist.
She spends time helping the reader deal with the elements of a small garden that a reader might be stuck with. She offers ideas for gardens that might be too shady, too hot, too exposed, cursed with clay soil, overlooked by a hideous brick wall, or containing ugly sheds, manhole covers and electricity meters. Not only are the ideas suggested, but at the back there is a how-to-do-it section to help you make the vision a reality. I found this very valuable. It's all very well saying "Hide an ugly brick wall with a trellis covered with vines", but how do you get a trellis to stand up against a brick wall? This book explains it.
Then having dealt with the problems, she moves along to the possibilities. These is so much you have to choose when you plan any garden, and a tiny space takes more planning than most. Would you like formal or informal? Crammed with plants or restrained? Would you like to "borrow" the surrounding scenery or exclude it at all costs? Jill Billlington will take you through the planning for the garden of your dreams.
Lest you thought that gardening was a pastime for gentle souls, in the chapter titled "Illusion" the author has included sections on concealing, exploiting and trickery. It sounds more like Las Vegas than Chelsea Flower Show. But this is where she gets down and dirty with concrete ideas for hiding anything you don't want to see and drawing to everyone's attention the best aspects of your garden.
The book has a directory of what the author calls "tried, tested and dependable" plants for small spaces. This includes some small trees, both deciduous and evergreen (if you should have enough space), as well as shrubs, perennials, climbers, bulbs and annuals. It ends with plans for different shapes and styles of garden and hints about how to shape plants growing beside walls and how to go about making structures such as arches and trellises to support them.
This is a book for anyone planning a small garden. The author's artistic approach is a revelation to gardeners like me who are not very artistic, and will be welcomed by those who are artistic and will enjoy the practical approach of a kindred spirit.
larger type for small gardens.......2000-03-01
This is an intelligently written and photographed primarily European garden book (some American exceptions) but the typeface is so small, it makes enjoying this book extremely difficult. Shame on the publisher.

Book Description
In Buddha Mom, Jacqueline Kramer beautifully illuminates the ways in which motherhood can be woven with the spiritual life. Drawing upon her twenty years as a practicing Buddhist, as well as many other wisdom traditions from around the world, she offers powerful insights into cultivating a more spiritual attitude toward parenting.
In chapters, guided by central Buddhist themes-Simplicity, Nurturance, Joyful Service, Unconditional Love-Kramer's personal experience of pregnancy, birth, and then raising her daughter to adulthood serves as a guide to integrating the roles of parent and spiritual being. A celebration of all that motherhood can be, Buddha Mom presents an inspiring vision of child rearing.
Customer Reviews:
Not as Good as "Buddhism for Mothers"..........2006-12-21
I came to this book after reading Sarah Napthali's "Buddhism for Mothers," which was a very well organized and inspiring book. This book is okay, but is written differently and in a less-straightforward style. It is more narrative, almost preachy at times, and does not give as many examples for practical application like the other book.
More importantly, as a mom of twins, I found myself having a hard time relating to Kramer's spiritual/parenting struggles because, well, she only had one kid. I know that's not really fair, but I'll be honest: it just feel more genuine to take advice from other parents that also have multiple kids, rather than just one. It's just the way it is. I found her birth story difficult to relate to (nice as it was), since again, as a mom of dual-breech twins I never had the option of a nice, natural and drug-free birth. Also, most moms of multiples can only *dream* of taking expensive, time-consuming annual spiritual retreats, as she apparently has done for the last 20 years or so.
A very minor point: even though I don't smoke anything, I wasn't thrilled by the demonization of pot either. (I had enough D.A.R.E. stuff in school, thanks).
In general I found Napthali's book much more practical, as she outlines actual steps to take toward a more spiritual approach to parenting. With Kramer's book you get more of a sense that the book was just the story of her own personal path to spirituality. Unfortunately, I found very little to relate to and just didn't look forward to reading it like I did the other book.
She only has one kid!.......2006-06-20
Mothers of many children beware! The author only had one child!
I'm sorry, perhaps I'm showing a deep prejudice here. To be upfront, I didn't even make it past the introduction. As soon as I read that the author only had one child, I closed the book and promptly returned it to the library. Thank Goodness I didn't buy it.
I have two children and they are the light of my life. I am a stay at home mom, I homeschool and I love my kids. I have read Hanh and the Dalai Lama and have even taken a course recently in Peace Studies. But I will not take parenting advice from someone who only had one kid.
When I had just one child, I found it so easy to be serene and loving and patient and kind. Two kids ups the ante Considerably! Simple mathematics tells you how much more complicated it is. With two parents (let's assume man-woman) and one child, you have four possible personality combinations: mother-child, father-child, mother-father, all-three. With two parents and two children you have 11 possible personality combinations! Mother-son, Mother-daughter, Mother-Father, Father-son, Father-daughter, son-daughter, Mother-son-daughter, Mother-son-Father, Mother-daughter-Father, Father-son-daughter, All-Four. (Did you count them?)
When I was planning my second child, I thought having two would be LESS than twice the work. How much harder is it to make two peanut-butter sandwiches instead of one, right? HA! They tag team you!
Don't get me wrong, we're talking about maybe adding a third child to our brood. But let's be realistic here. There is NO WAY I am going to take parenting advice from someone who has had only one child. It's a whole different world once the kids start multiplying.
A must read and a must share with own daughters..........2004-09-22
This is an amazing account of one woman's journey into motherhood. Her connection with her 'self' and consciousness is one to be admired and sought.
This is a book mothers should share with their own daughters. She records many insightful facts, experiences and teachings that we can't always remember to tell our girls before embracing the wonder of motherhood for them selves.
This should be on every womans top 5 must read list.
One of the best parenting books ever written.......2004-08-23
This book is so well written that it will touch you on many different levels. It will give you an amazing insight into life as a Buddhist parent, but readers of all faiths can relate to the spirituality of mothering. It will hold you as you turn every page, waiting to hear what happens next to the author and her daughter on their journey together. The author is so honest and open about her own experiences you will feel as though you are reading about friends. It is a touching story that has stayed with me, influenced my parenting, helped me find a peaceful moment here and there and warmed my heart as I read each page. Jacqueline Kramer is a blessing and you will be moved as you read her story.
For mothers of all paths..........2004-08-03
I am not buddhist, but this book spoke to me in ways that go beyond spiritual definitions. I was looking for a way to have a more peaceful household, and Ms. Kramer's words gave me inspiration and ideas to change things within myself to create a family life that made my entire family more content. I highly recommend not only her book, but also her website (http://www.buddhamom.com) and email group.

S-T-R-E-T-C-H, STRENGTHEN, AND MEDITATE—WITH YOUR BABY
Practicing yoga with your baby—as you hold your baby, have your baby next to you, or have your baby leaning against your thighs or atop your belly—is a wonderful way to add joy to your first year together. Popular yoga teacher Jyothi Larson shares the specially adapted yoga poses she has taught to hundreds of moms and their “Buddha babies,” her term for the happy and calm babies in her classes.
Whether you are new to yoga or an experienced student, whatever shape you are in, you are in the perfect place to practice yoga. In this beautifully illustrated book with easy-to-follow instructions, Larson presents twenty routines that help you get back in shape faster as you bond with your baby. Included are:
• prenatal yoga, with a focus on the last trimester
• what to do after birth through the first six weeks, with special poses for women who have had C-sections
• modified yoga poses that respect your changing post-pregnancy body and give all of yoga’s benefits—stretching, strengthening, and relaxing
• fun yoga moves that encourage your baby’s natural flexibility and growth
• breathing and relaxation exercises as well as partner postures
and much more!
Experience the joy of yoga while bonding with your baby.
Customer Reviews:
Absolutely fabulous! Brought me back in shape while spending valuable time with my daughter........2005-08-24
I really enjoyed this book. Not only is it clearly written, well-photographed and a good size but it proved inspirational. Being a yoga novice did not prevent me from trying some of the even more complex positions as the text is intuitive and the photographs are easy to follow.
Although most of the yoga is geared for mom there is plenty of material for your baby too - the last review seems to have missed the subtitle of "The yoga workout for new moms". How much can you expect a baby to do? Downward dog? I think not!!
Diappointing.......2004-07-30
The description says that this is yoga to do with your baby. When I got the book it seemed like 90% of the time the baby was on the floor while mom was doing the yoga. I don't need a new book to give me that idea. I can already do yoga with my son on the floor next to me. I wanted, and thought this book would give, ideas on how to do my yoga practice with him.
Excellent Resource!.......2003-03-12
I am a fitness instructor for prenatal and post partum women and I just love this book. I debated between several of the "mom-yoga" type books and I'm so glad I decided on this one. The exercises are safe, easy to follow, and wonderfully illustrated. It is even easy to follow if you are not a "yogi". My only criticism is that the binding does not lay flat so it's difficult to review the exercises during your workout. Otherwise, I recommend it for both prenatal (an entire chapter is dedicated) and postpartum women.
Beautiful and simple.......2003-01-27
This is one of a very few books that has simple excersises, done with your baby, and illustrated with clear and beautiful photos of moms actually doing this! If you need a mommy and me yoga book, buy this and you won't need any others!
This book will change your pregnancy.......2002-10-03
When my wife Sue started getting noticeably pregnant, she found Jyothi's class and it became one of the highlights of her entire pregnancy. If you're not lucky enough to live in New York and attend Jyothi's classes, this book is like bringing her into your home for a private lesson. Her voice comes through in the book, and the photos are clear (and really cute!). If any husbands are reading this, give Yoga Mama, Buddha Baby as a gift to your wife--she will be in a great mood for all nine months!
