Sorry, I am not familiar with these books, but if you are looking for books
printed in English which discuss and illustrate how to construct "village
technology", the US Peace Corps has an excellent resource library. Not
only do they have their own books (ex. "How to build a fuel efficient clay
wood stove") but they have a wealth of literature on such topics.
How to get access to the library? The main office is in Washington, DC.
Perhaps someone else on the list has some ideas of how to access the
resource.
Another source which comes to my mind is the Alternatives Library at
Cornell University. I believe it is located within the International
Agriculture Program at Cornell. The telephone number there is
607-255-3035. A person who may be able to get you in touch with the
library resources is Nancy Grudens Schuck at ng13@cornell.edu - she is a
graduate student in the Cornell Dept. of Education, and manages the e-mail
list Sust. Ag Education.
Hope this helps.
