Buildings of Earth and Straw: Structural Design for Rammed Earth and Straw Bale Architecture

I read this right after Yorke's Georgian and Regency Houses Explained, and I liked the flow of information. Yorke does a good job of briefly describing the surrounding eras, so you get an idea of how house styles changed over time. I like how concise the books are. They are packed with useful information, and I like the pictures.
