Introduction
This page is meant to showcase techniques and technologies which may 
significantly improve life for minimal cost in many places worldwide-- but 
especially in developing countries, which may currently lack much of the 
infrastructure and public services of richer nations, and may not be burdened 
with the building codes and zoning restrictions of wealthier nations' as well 
(which in many cases stifle innovations involving the use of quality but 
lower cost materials and simplified construction methods). This page also 
presents proposals for as yet untested but promising concepts in regards to 
such topics.
I try to provide here the essential ideas or principles underlying many of 
the items listed, so that readers may immediately apply or adapt them where 
desired-- and WITHOUT much or any aid (financial or otherwise) from third 
parties.

I strive to find and emphasize those methods which are the least 
labor-intensive and most easily applied and maintained with a minimum of 
skill or specialized knowledge-- as those commodities are typically in short 
supply everywhere, regardless of in what country you live. But still users 
will essentially be substituting man-hours or climbs up learning curves for 
cash money, in many instances.

In some cases further research or experimentation will be required on the 
reader's part, due to my own sources sometimes not providing all the 
necessary details, or a particular item I mention being still in the research 
and development stage, etc., etc.

I'll do my best to improve the directness and immediacy of access to specific 
references and resources listed below, over time. Part of this effort 
includes providing internet links whereby readers may buy a particular book, 
tool, or device described within these pages. But I also strive to offer free 
online and off-line sources of the same or similar information, wherever 
possible. For example, there's a good chance many or most of the books 
described on this page are available in lots of public libraries worldwide-- 
because the majority of books listed here are decades old.

This site is a work-in-progress: if it at present does not offer a viable 
solution to your particular budget impasse, please check back again later.
