Freudenberger (Alcohol Fuel: A Guide to Making and Using Ethanol as a Renewable Fuel) and the other editors of BackHome Magazine have produced a comprehensive guide, filled with information to help readers clear toxins and excess waste from their homes while gaining an appreciation for self-efficiency. The projects, recipes, and general practices have all been tested by the contributors, and each entry lists necessary materials and projected monetary savings. The guide is divided into three parts. 'All Around the House' covers housekeeping practices, including instructions for making household cleaning products, as well as recipes and general advice for saving money on food preparation. This section is accessible to a wide audience, and most people could easily adopt these methods without any prior experience. Part 2, 'Those Special Interests That Make Life Special, ' focuses on crafts, pets, and holiday recipes and homemade gifts. Part 3, 'Heading Outside: The Great Outdoors, ' covers topics more suitable to experienced woodworkers or gardeners, but the instructions are clear and detailed enough for novices. VERDICT: This is a versatile reference for sustainable housekeeping, gardening, and DIY projects. --Library Journal
