One-Acre Homestead is a response toThe Self-Sufficient Life and How to Live It, focusing more on perennials and less on large livestock (thus making it more suitable for the average American homesteader who probably has fingers in many other pies).  Other highlights of the book include a permaculture perspective and a realistic view of when to add each new facet to the homestead.I found her ideas on growing your own mulch, her firsthand information on wildcrafting, and the idea of money as an energy flow to be managed like any other fascinating.  In addition, her extreme southern focus (she's located in Louisiana) makes the ebook a good addition to a genre that is mostly written by northerners.  (I agree that sweet potatoes are the ultimate low work, high yield vegetable!)
