Book Description
This is a small but useful book - a bare bones 'how-to' manual on how to raise crayfish in a small country setting. It is a factual compilation of years of University and industry findings as well as individual research on aquaculture of the freshwater crayfish. Prepared in a number of tasty ways, freshwater crayfish are highly regarded as a delicacy both here and abroad. They are very similar to lobster and shrimp in taste and texture, and are an excellent source of high-quality low-fat protein. Targeting the small farmer or backyard hobbyist, this book outlines specific guidelines for pond construction and efficiency, food and environmental needs, and marketing, sale and processing of the best species of crayfish for culturing purposes.

Book Description
Healing Appalachia is a practical guide for environmentally conscious residents of Appalachia and beyond. It is also the first book to apply “appropriate technology,” or the most basic technology that can effectively achieve the desired result, to this specific region. Authors Al Fritsch and Paul Gallimore have performed over 200 environmental resource assessments in thirty-three states. They bring this knowledge to bear as they examine thirty low-cost, people-friendly, and environmentally benign appropriate technologies that can be put to work today in Appalachia. They discuss such issues as renewable energy and energy conservation, food preservation and gardening, forest management, land use, transportation, water conservation, proper waste disposal, and wildlife protection. They pay close attention to the practicality of each technique according to affordability, ease of use, and ecological soundness. Their subjects range from solar home heating to greenhouses, from aquaculture to compost toilets, from organic gardening to wildlife restoration and enhancement, and from solar cars to microhydropower facilities. Their discussions of each topic benefit from the knowledge gained from thirty years of practical experience at environmental demonstration centers and public interest and educational organizations. Each section of the book includes details on construction and maintenance, as well as resources for locating further information, making this an essential volume for everyone who cares about the future of Appalachia.
