A very useful general overview of all kinds of yurts, how to buy or build them, and how to set up a household. It is a little too into the woo-woo spiritual aspects of living in a round structure for my tastes, but that doesn't detract from it's utility so I don't really care.
I have always loved yurts! This provides pictures and layout plans too!
Yurts are just cool. Even Coho has a little bit of yurt jealousy.
One of the few books I found on the wonderful yurt.
I'm totally enamored with the idea of yurt living and really enjoyed the pictures and info in this book.
An interesting read about yurt construction and living. I dream of one day having a yurt as a summer home or something.
This is a great primer about everything you could want to know about 'living in the round'. The book is not exhaustive about details on construction, utilities, maintenance, etc, but it gives you a nice overview if you're contemplating buying a yurt. It's also just a very enjoyable read during those times that you feel compelled to sit back and daydream about getting away from it all...
longing to scale way down....
this book is full of terrific photographs, personal accounts, concise historical information and is generally just a fun book to peruse on a snowy day.
A very informative and beautifully illustrated volume on this unique type of dwelling.
Yurts are an option for the farm's short-term housing.
Everyone needs a dream. :)
