• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Welcome to the Soil and Health Library​

This website provides free downloadable e-books about radical agriculture, natural hygiene/nature cure and self-sufficiency. There are secondary collections involving social criticism and transformational psychology.

There is no fee for downloading anything in this library.

The library’s topic areas connect agricultural methods to the health and lifespan of animals and humans. A study of these materials reveals how to prevent and heal disease and increase longevity, suggests how to live a more fulfilling life and reveals social forces working against that possibility.

The Free Digitalized Library:​

There are four subject areas:​

Radical Agriculture. The nutritional quality of food determines the health of animals and humans. Food quality is primarily determined by soil fertility. This section includes key books that began the organic farming and gardening movement. There is a broad collection of materials by William Albrecht, books and papers by Victor Tiedjens and also from the BioDynamic movement. Go to the Agriculture Library.

The Restoration and Maintenance of Health. These collections focus on healing disease and building/maintains health with dietary reform. There are books advocating several parallel approaches including natural hygiene/nature cure, iridiagnosis and naturopathy. There is also a collection concerning longevity and nutritional anthropology. There is a collection of old medical texts, mostly concerning herbalism. Go to the Health Library.

Personal Sovereignty. Physical, mental, and spiritual health are linked to lifestyle. This collection focuses on liberating activities, especially homesteading and the skills it takes to do that—small-scale entrepreneuring, achieving financial independence, frugality, and voluntary simplicity. There is also a collection of social criticism, especially from a back-to-the-land point of view. Go to the Personal Sovereignty Library.

Spiritual Freedom. There are many seemingly-different self-betterment roads. The books in this collection seek to empower personal development in an independent manner. Go to the Spiritual Freedom Library.
