After a brief look at adobe's history, the book surveys adobe's advantages as a building material, illustrates adobe construction techniques with b&w photos and construction drawings, and explains facts and myths of energy conservation with adobe. This revised edition contains a new chapter with stories from real-life adobe home builders. The author and her husband have taught courses in adobe construction, and have written previous books on architectural computer graphics.
