Bergeron and Lacinski's new book is the first to look carefully at the specific
design considerations critical to success with a straw bale building in more extreme climates-where seasonal changes in temperature, precipitation, and humidity create special stresses that builders must understand and address.The authors draw upon years of experience with natural materials and
experimental techniques, and present a compelling rationale for building with
straw-one of nature's most resilient, available, and affordable byproducts.
