E ora si Ikrea and Coltiviamo la citta' edited by Massimo Acanfora

In this era of crisis and mass production, Acanfora presents two books on material culture, from handicraft to farming. E ora si Ikrea is an invitation to take hammer to hand and build something – manual creative work based on the three “Rs”: reduce, recuperate, recycle; Coltiviamo la città is a gardening manual, whether a vegetable garden or a plot of urban greenery, with instructions for greening a balcony, a window sill or a condo garden, with the awareness of the social, dietary, and education values such activities produce through city gardens, school gardens and guerilla gardening.

E ora si IKrea e Coltiviamo la città, a cura di Massimo Acanfora Collana “Manualmente”, Ponte alle Grazie/Altreconomia Edizioni, Milano 2011/2012
