Was the main book available on composting toilets for ten years. This invaluable book makes it clear that we can all do something to preserve our most precious water.

AquaTerra MetaEcology & Culture
AquaTerra: Metaecology & Culture is the most current book available on clean water concepts. It is a resource for people who care about water and includes articles on dowsing, the use of cattail reeds for low cost aquaculture systems, stream monitoring, swimming with dolphins, fuel from water, living water concepts, flow forms and much more.
Reading AquaTerra is more than just reading a book, it is an aesthetic experience. The poetry and illustrations give another dimension. We want to go beyond thinking of water as a resource.

Reconnecting with Nature
Finding wellness through restoring your bond with the Earth
by Michael J. Cohen, Ed.D.
No society has ever established socially and environmentally sound relationships without having strong bonds to the natural world. It is always Mother Earth's dedication, love, and passion for all of life that motivates, guides, and bonds natural beings, including people, to support each other. Through the chapters and activities of Reconnecting with Nature, Dr. Cohen suggests ways to use nature's wisdom to re-awaken dormant sensitivities, rebuild our spiritual connection with the Earth and enhance wellness.
Michael J. Cohen has been living, learning and teaching in the outdoors for 35 years. He has founded environmental degree programs with the Lesley College Graduate School and the Institute for Global Education. He currently directs Project NatureConnect, a workshop and Internet program for socially responsible environmental education.
