A former UN worker and prominent architect, Johan van Lengen has seen firsthand the desperate need for a "greener" approach to housing in impoverished tropical climates. This comprehensive book clearly explains every aspect of this endeavor, includingdesign (siting, orientation, climate consideration), materials (sisal, cactus, bamboo, earth), and implementation. The author emphasizes throughout the book what is inexpensive and sustainable. Included are sections discussing urban planning, small-scale energy production, cleaning and storing drinking water, and dealing with septic waste, and all information is applied to three distinct tropical regions: humid areas, temporate areas, and desert climates. Hundreds of explanatory drawings by van Lengen allow even novice builders to get started."Binding Type: Paperback

Comfortable athletic sock
Color: White/Halo Gray Assorted Locked-in Fit, Size: Medium
Love these socks. Neutral enough colors to pair with tennis shoes for daily wear but still a fun pattern. Comfortable, and stay in place without slipping down. Fit true to size.

high-quality, comfortable socks
Size: Medium, Color: Coyote Brown 4 Pairs
The Army Demi Season Breathable Over The Calf Uniform Boot Socks are a must-have for anyone in need of high-quality, comfortable socks for military or tactical use. Here's why I highly recommend them:
Pros:
1. **Breathable Design**: These socks feature a breathable construction that helps regulate temperature and moisture, keeping your feet cool and dry even during long hours of wear. This is essential for maintaining comfort and preventing sweat-related issues such as blisters or odors.
2. **Over-The-Calf Length**: The over-the-calf length of these socks provides additional protection and support, helping to prevent chafing and irritation caused by boots or other footwear. It also ensures a secure fit that stays in place throughout the day.
3. **Durable Material**: Made from high-quality materials such as cotton, polyester, and spandex, these socks are built to withstand the rigors of military or tactical use. They hold up well to repeated washing and wear, maintaining their shape and integrity over time.
4. **Cushioned Sole**: The cushioned sole provides added comfort and support, reducing fatigue and impact on your feet during extended periods of standing or walking. It also helps absorb shock and prevent soreness or discomfort.
5. **Versatile Use**: While designed for military or tactical use, these socks are also suitable for various outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, or hunting. Their durable construction and performance features make them a versatile choice for any demanding environment.
Cons:
1. **Limited Color Options**: These socks typically come in standard military colors such as black, green, or coyote brown, which may not appeal to everyone's personal style preferences. However, the focus is on functionality rather than fashion.
2. **Sizing**: Some users may find that the sizing runs slightly large or small, depending on individual foot dimensions. It's essential to consult the manufacturer's sizing chart and reviews to ensure the best fit.
Overall, the Army Demi Season Breathable Over The Calf Uniform Boot Socks offer superior comfort, durability, and performance for military, tactical, or outdoor use. Their breathable design, over-the-calf length, and cushioned sole make them an essential component of any uniform or gear kit.
