Carla Emery first stared compiling The Encyclopedia of Country Living in 1974 and continued to improve, refine, and update it through ten editions. She traveled the country, enthusiastically teaching the skills for living independently off the land - finding your place in the country, planning and planting a garden, raising animals, living the self-sufficient life. Whether you live in the city or the country-or anywhere in between- this is the complete, practical guide to living well and living simply.
