Tomm Stanley is an American that has been living in New Zealand since 1995 and this is his second book on the subjects of eco-living and sustainability for the planet. His book, Stone House - A Guide to Self Building with Slipforms, highlights the efforts of he and his partner Sabrina at owner-built, passive solar construction using locally sourced materials. On his New Zealand property Tomm has created an environmentally friendly, off-the-grid lifestyle and his web-based business, www.heartbeatnursery.co.nz, assists in funding his personal mission of restoring the former hillside farm, now infested with an imported plant weed, to its natural, forested state.
