Make: magazine, Volume 18 ReMake America (PDF)! Challenging times give us a rare chance to try new ways of doing things, and the opportunities for makers are terrific — we can start at home to remake manufacturing, education, food production, transportation, and recreation.

In MAKE Volume 18 you'll learn how to make an automatic garden, heat your water with the sun, monitor and share your home energy usage, make an embedded drip irrigation system, and more. Make a topographical map of your property, put the sun and the rain to work, and make your own energy and food, using the untapped resources around your home, yard, and community.
