- Priručnik o alternativnom stanovanju na engleskom jeziku

** `This book traces the sometimes courageous, sometimes frightening steps of a former suburban-matron-come-country woman and her friends as they cast off their culture`s expectations of what their houses `ought` to look like and begin experimenting with their own fantasies for dwelling places. They are people with the courage to trust their own judgments, conceiving of living space as something which must reflect their personal uniqueness, even to the point of working as a sacred mandala for energy, a place for achieving an integration with a larger harmony.
Although there is much practical information here, especially with regard to planning and getting ready to build, and on building codes, this book is more about the personal odysseys of these `space people` as interviewed and studied by this woman who calls herself River.`
