DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Concrete on the Farm and in the Shop: A Complete Practical Treatise on the Commonest Every-Day Uses of Concrete Within recent years there has been increasing attention given to the use of concrete as a building material. Nowhere has this interest been relatively greater than on the farm. The appeal of concrete is due largely to the fact that care and faithful observance of fundamental principles enable a large portion of the actual labor to be performed by those who are relatively unskilled. The increasing cost of lumber has made concrete not only a formidable competitor but successful rival. Not only is this true but those who have once used concrete have come to a realization that in the concrete structure expensive upkeep is eliminated. There is no longer the continual annual outlay for repairing, painting, straightening up, and rebuilding or patching the work to put it into condition equal to new, or to maintain it in serviceable condition. Concrete is also fireproof. This is another strong appeal. On the farm fireproof construction is doubly advantageous since the country dweller is without the protection which his city friend enjoys; namely, the well-equipped and usually efficient fire department. But concrete in town is just as good as in the country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The hope is to return to an exalted era in agriculture, to the kind of rural scene fit for a Rockwell painting or a Shaker Village—to food grown the old fashioned way. Breaking Through Concrete is not that, which is exactly the point. This ode to urban farming is not nostalgic (those are skyscrapers in the background, not silos), but instructive. It's a beautiful, gritty and very real portrait of the possibilities for the future of food." — Dan Barber, Executive Chef & Co-owner of Blue Hill "A road map to the future of America. A blueprint of possibilities. A book full of remarkable stories of neighborhood visionaries, stories of people who grow community in their gardens. Where others see trouble, they see food and hope." —NPR's Kitchen Sisters "Finally, a book on the full continuum of urban agriculture in America, replete with inspiring images of the people and places behind today's city-grown food. Hanson and Marty tell these stories with such admiration for their subjects you'll want to bestow hero status to city farmers." —Darrin Nordahl, author of Public Produce: The New Urban Agriculture “Breaking Through Concrete will satisfy readers hungry for a broad perspective on urban agriculture. The beautiful stories and photographs of successful programs throughout North America, combined with practical ‘how to’ guides, provides a valued resource for practitioners, advocates, scholars, and gardeners.” —Laura Lawson, author of City Bountiful: A Century of Community Gardening in America
