No running water, no car, no electricity or any of the things it powers: the internet, phone, washing machine, radio or light bulb. Just a wooden cabin, on a smallholding, by the edge of a stand of spruce. In this honest and lyrical account of a remarkable life without modern technology, Mark Boyle explores the hard won joys of building a home with his bare hands, learning to make fire, collecting water from the spring, foraging and fishing. What he finds is an elemental life, one governed by the rhythms of the sun and seasons, where life and death dance in a primal landscape of blood, wood, muck, water, and fire--much the same life we have lived for most of our time on earth. Revisiting it brings a deep insight into what it means to be human at a time when the boundaries between man and machine are blurring."-- Publisher's website 600 10 Boyle, Mark,|d1979-|xHomes and haunts 650 0 Self-reliant living|vCase studies 650 0 Home economics, Rural|vCase studies 650 0 Mountain life|vCase studies 650 0 Cell phones|xSocial aspects|xMiscellanea 650 0 Internet|xSocial aspects|xMiscellanea 650 0 Social media|xSocial aspects|xMiscellanea 650 0 Self-reliant living|zIreland|zGalway (County) 650 7 Hem- och konsumentkunskap|2sao 650 7 Mobiltelefoner|2sao 651 7 Irland|2sao 655 4 Nonfiction 655 7 Fallstudier|2saogf 907 00 191105
