Low-tech Magazine 2018-2021

by Kris De Decker

Low-tech Magazine underscores the potential of past and often forgotten technologies and how they can inform sustainable energy practices. Sometimes, past technologies can be copied without any changes. More often, interesting possibilities arise when older technology is combined with new knowledge and new materials, or when past concepts and traditional knowledge are applied to modern technology. Inspiration is also to be found in the so-called "developing" world, where resource constraints often lead to inventive, low-tech solutions. This third volume (368 pages, 183 images) contains 18 articles published between 2018 and 2021.

The book goes deep into low-tech innovations that can bring about a more sustainable society. Kris leaves aside the mainstream green-washing that pervades our era, and really presents simple yet effective technologies that do not require huge amounts of energy, water or rare materials to function. The book is indeed a recompilation of his online articles on the Low Tech Magazine website durent 2018-2021

[Laro]

a very noble idea to actually print a website, and have it available as book. of course the articles are very informative, but I'm giving 5 stars to this edition, due to the fact that it is also very well organized, with good spacing between paragraphs, and very readable.
