The new book A Slice of Organic Life might be better described as A Gigantic Slice of Organic Life. This is not your average-sized serving of tips on how to incorporate more green into your life; it is super-sized. While he book itself is not overly large (it will fit nicely on a bookshelf), it's the content that overflows.

Editor-in-chief Sheherazade Goldsmith packs A Slice of Organic Life full of tips and diy projects for living more naturally, or organically, if you will, whether you live in a tiny New York City apartment, a moderate abode with some outdoor space, a large suburban house with a big yard, or a big ol' farm with a few acres. There are a variety of different suggestions complete with easy, step-by-step instructions and guidelines. Also rampant in this volume are beautiful, colorful photographs which make a simple flip through the book enjoyable, and give a hearty visual representation of each tip presented.

The book is sectioned off into three parts: 1) No Need for a Yard, 2) Roof Terrace, Patio or Tiny Yard, and 3) Yard, Community Garden, or Field. Within each section, however, are ideas for both small and large spaces: from making and freezing baby foods, to collecting rainwater, growing chili peppers, making summer fruit jam, using renewable energy, planting herbs indoors, keeping honey bees and raising your own chickens.
