This is a very well written book about homesteading. I like how the book provides information pertaining to how homesteading first came into existence, some of the benefits in homesteading, and practically everything else you need to know about getting started. I think this book captures some of the most important aspects of homesteading, such as: planning and designing the type of homestead you want to have in order to maximize your goals, the tools you need to have on hand, the different types of energy sources, and how to effectively dispose of waste.
In my opinion, this is very well organized book. It covers details on how to raise livestock, fishing, as well as, planting and harvesting a garden for your cooking needs, how to store rain water, even down to entertainment and finances. Not only does the book cover details about harvesting a garden, it also contains information about different ways to preserve your harvest, i.e., canning, and freezing, are just a few I am mentioning, but the book provides more. I was truly fascinated reading how to make your own personal items for hygiene use. Reading about making lotion and soap is useful information to all, even if you are not interested in homesteading. Providing information on making your own cleaning supplies from windows to the bathroom and floors is a winner too. This book even covers information on making some of your own household items furniture!
I think the information on what you need to know about homeschooling, and the different methods of homeschooling, is very helpful, also. I love how the book provides information on herbal remedies! This book lays it out on how you can use herbs for beauty care, first aid, even down to sore muscles. I could go on and on about this book. It really is a good book to have in your collection and certainly one that you can learn from!

This was an easy read, not super- thorough in all the departments ...
