Rejecting both end-times hand-wringing and dewy-eyed faith in technology, urbanites everywhere are becoming gardeners and farmers. By growing their own food and harnessing natural energy, they are creating the future of our cities. Whether you live in an apartment or a house, this practical book is full of step-by-step hands-on projects that will get you started, from raising city chickens to diverting greywater to your garden. It is also a guidebook to the larger movement, pointing you to books and Internet resources for self-sufficiency. 330 pp.
