 is packed with examples of quirky      
 homes. Earth shelters made out of      
 tykes are the "in thing" in California.
                                        
 This Real Goods Books publication      
 (£14.95) is very American but it does  
 give advice on the materials you'll    
 need to build and live in your eco-home
