About Us

Our eBooks are in PDF format, which is widely respected as an excellent cross-platform format. Most importantly, the PDF format protects the formatting in the tables, recipes, quotes, illustrations, etc. that appear in our books. You can read your eBook on any electronic device that recognizes PDF files.

You can download these eBooks and read them without the need for password protection.  These eBooks are yours, with no digital rights management (DRM) locks. You will then be able to open your eBook directly, save it to your computer, or transfer it to another device to be read later. You can transfer our books to as many of your own personal computing devices as you like, for your personal (non-commercial) use.

However, please remember that the content is copyright (as detailed in each book), which means that it cannot be re-used or re-published in any form without our permission.

All of our books are currently only available in this eBook PDF format. Some were originally published in that format and the others are now out of print in paper.

Natural Life Books is a division of Life Media, which publishes books under The Alternate Press imprint. It is named after Natural Life Magazine, which is also published by Life Media and has, since 1976, been providing information and inspiration about the green living and progressive education topics.

Life Media is a small, independent, environmentally-conscious multimedia information publishing company, which is still owned and operated by the founding family. Our goal is to provide editorially independent, quality products and a high level of service and integrity, in a way that minimizes our ecological footprint and respects all the inhabitants of Mother Earth.

We believe that sustainability is not just about the environment. It is an interconnection of cultural, social, economic and environmental practices. It means taking care of where we live…and part of that involves building strong communities, with healthy, locally-owned businesses that sell good products at fair prices.

As one of the original North American sources of information about natural family living and home-based education, we work hard to provide a fresh perspective on these important topics. As a result, you'll find us always a bit ahead of the pack. Our non-fiction books are inspirational, sometimes controversial, always honest, and forever practical. We are known for providing straightforward facts, analysis, opinions and how-to information about green family living and homeschooling/unschooling (which we prefer to call life learning).
