Introduction
The 400-page textbook includes the full content of every module in the course, making it a convenient reference as you learn. You can use a PDF reader to click on links in the Table of Contents to jump directly to any section, or use the search function to quickly find specific topics or terms. This is especially useful if you recall learning something but aren’t sure which module it was in.
Inside the textbook, you’ll find:
- the complete text of all modules
- clickable links to recommended websites and products
- photographs that illustrate construction details
- summaries of key takeaways from each module
- a glossary of important terms introduced in the course
- a bibliography of sources used to develop this class
- It’s designed to be a comprehensive companion as you move through the material and begin planning your healthy home.
By fall 2025, I will offer an accompanying video lecture for each module. Each video will have the same content as the accompanying PDF.
If you’re a visual learner and it helps you to sit down and watch video, you’re welcome to do that, but you don’t have to. The videos will just be me talking. Everything you’ll need to see is in the textbook. Feel free to listen to the lectures while you're commuting, or chopping carrots, or loading the dishwasher, or folding laundry, or going for a run.
If you’re wanting to get a head start on the content before the videos are available, you can read the textbook. It contains the same content that will be in the video.
