Creating an Urban Ecovillage, a Model for Revitalizing Our Cities is a "how-to" book that presents ideas of ways others can develop an ecovillage in their existing urban neighborhood. Each chapter presents a particular aspect of Enright Ridge Urban Ecovillage and is concluded with a story that exemplifies how it is being carried out by an individual or family in the ecovillage. The urban ecovillage combines community and ecological sustainability in our cities. While it may not be the only way, the urban "retrofit" ecovillage is one very plausible way of achieving this.

A compendium of stories from the men of the Submarine Force that promises to be as entertaining as McHale's Navy!

The Enright Ridge CSA, a mission of the Enright Ridge Urban EcoVillage in the Price Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, is a co-operative community-supported agriculture project. Volunteers came together to make the project a reality; they hired an experienced farmer who provided guidance as they learned about high-production farming, successive plantings, and high-volume production techniques. By its second year, the CSA was providing produce for more than 100 people for six months of the year on less than an acre of land. CSA members decided to share what they had learned about urban co-op farming, with the belief that other neighborhoods can learn from the Enright CSA experience-both from successes and missteps. With this book, author Jim Schenk's dream may well become a reality, as he inspires every neighborhood across the country and around the world to support flourishing urban farms. It's time to learn how to feed ourselves again, and the information in this book encourages people to give it a try.
