Making Home: Adapting Our Homes and Our Lives to Settle in Place By Sharon Astyk; Published by New Society Publishers, Gabriola Island, 2012, RRP AU$27.99. Currently available on Fishpond $18.66.

Sharon Astyk’s new book Making Home is part how-to, part memoir, and all inspiration. In it she argues that change is coming, whether we like it or not, and that we need to start adapting now.

And she shows us how we can start to do that.

This exceptional book has shot straight to the top of my ‘must read’ recommendations.

See the full review here.
