Hacking the Earthship: In Search of an Earth-Shelter that Works for EveryBody is a collection of academic and in-the-field research on Earthships combined with practical advice for designing and financing a truly sustainable earth-sheltered home. Rachel Preston Prinz and contributing authors discuss the history, research, design issues, and evolution of Earthships, drawing on the knowledge of thousands of builders, craftsmen, and designers who have mastered the art of earth sheltering. Then, they walk readers step by step through design, offering a wealth of resources that can inspire, inform, and educate. Within, readers will find the tools needed to understand their places culture, architecture, and climate... and the ideal building methods for their climate, personality, values, and budget.

That is what this book aims to help you do. Chapter 1 THE EARTHSHIP REALITY PROJECT discusses the issues and resolutions of the design. Chapter 2
