If you are thinking about building a new home & think you may like living in the round, then this book is for you. Written from first hand experience, two of the authors each live in a dome home. The third author, in the business of remodeling conventional type homes, responded to the distress call during the building of a dome. The result: a very informative book, easy & delightful to read. Aside from a very brief history of domes as residences & a comparative description of the three primary modern dome types, the focus of the book is the Monolithic Dome: its characteristics, basic construction, choices in shapes, exterior design elements. The remaining chapters cover the equally practical considerations on architects, contractors & contracting, building in a rural area, financing & insurance. Tips & red alerts are sprinkled throughout the book. This book is a one-stop introduction to essential considerations to arm the reader before, not after the fact, with information & suggestions. The text is amply referenced & illustated.

The discovery of a strange signal makes a young technician and his uncle question all they know about their utopian refuge. Now, they must solve the biggest mystery of all: Is there life beyond Dome Six? The Dome Project was meant to protect America’s best and brightest from a climate catastrophe. When they lost contact with the outside world, all they could do was wait and hope. But four generations later, Dome Six is still waiting, and hope is in short supply. When a suspected saboteur threatens the safety of the Dome, Owen and his conspiracy-loving uncle uncover a mysterious signal that may point the way out. But a veil of lies has long obscured the Dome's secrets, and the ruling Authority will kill to protect them. As the only world they've ever known crumbles around them, Owen and his friends must stop the Authority and escape before the Dome becomes their tomb. Dome Six is a gripping and suspenseful dystopian novel with influences from Logan's Run to The Island and 1984. If you can relate to the search for hope and humanity in a world run amok, you'll devour this thought-provoking take on a near-future America.

They watched in horror as humanity destroyed itself in a nightmare of biological warfare. Now they are trapped in the Dome - an underwater laboratory off the coast of Hawaii. Scientists. Technicians. Bureaucrats. And the special ones, recipients of an advanced technology - as much machine as human, or more animal than man. They are the citizens of the Dome. Sentenced to the endless night of the ocean floor. Safe from the virus-ravaged surface. They are humanity's last chance.

* "Funny and unique . . . An honest, noisy, and raucous look at friendship and how loud music can make almost everything better." --Publishers Weekly, starred review Sebastian Prendergast lives with his eccentric grandmother in a geodesic dome. His homeschooling has taught him much-but he's learned little about girls, junk food, or loud, angry music. Then fate casts Sebastian out of the dome, and he finds a different kind of tutor in Jared Whitcomb: a chain-smoking sixteen-year-old heart transplant recipient who teaches him the ways of rebellion. Together they form a punk band and plan to take the local church talent show by storm. But when his grandmother calls him back to the futurist life she has planned for him, he must decide whether to answer the call-or start a future of his own.
