You might be interested in my book City Comforts: How to Build an Urban
Village.
It explains the essentials.

You can find out more at http://www.citycomforts.com

And by the way, the book is being translated into Japanese; I think the
translation is almost done and should be printed sometime soon.

Cheers,
David Sucher
