[GSBN] New publication on Building with straw

[Joyce Coppinger]

Gernot,

I would like to mention your book in a future issue of The Last Straw (TLS)
and list it in the TLS resource guide that I am updating. Would you please
send a paragraph or two describing the content and order information. There
is no urgency in this request as I can add the information to any issue,
whenever you have time to send the information.

Thank you for all the work you do in support and development of straw-bale
design and construction.

> Dear All,
> 
> we would like to inform you, that we published the results of our
> research project on loadbearing straw bale structures  in the new book:
> Minke, G.; Krick, B.: Handbuch Strohballenbau.
> There you will find new data of the  embedded energy (primary energy) of
> different straw bale structures, simulations on fungus growth, values
> for thermal conductivity, test results of deforming and decrease of
> pretensioning forces. You find also a chapter on vaults and domes from
> bales and some new buildings from Europe.
> 
> Sorry! the book is in German, but I think scientific data you will
> understand without knowing German.

> You can order the book at
>  www.oekobuch.de
>  or by e-mail: oekebuch at t-online.de

> Best regards
