Bamboo is "green gold" of the future, with 60,000 species throughout the world, and literally millions of uses.

Today, bamboo is charging into the western mainstream, and exploding in popularity.

With a section on the history, philosophy, and environmental advantages of bamboo, plus tips on finding bamboo locally and growing your own, How to Build with Bamboo is an incredible resource on a major modern renewable resource.
Joseph Scheer has been designing, producing, and marketing his bamboo creations for almost twenty years. With a thorough background in science, he has been a teacher, researcher, technician, and inventor, as well as a builder, contractor, sailor, and artist.
