The Rural
Resettlement Handbook
I hope you'll enjoy reading this wonderful book now that it's online.
Much of the material is as relevant today as ever, concentrating on case studies of real people who have resettled the land.
Other material gives a fascinating historical insight into Britain in the 1970's in terms of the attitudes of people and government and also the prices people were paying for goods, services, property and land.
