Too Many Questions, is there a "Building Bible"?

So, the more i think about it, the more i realize that i have too many questions to ask one by one.

Questions regarding COB insulation vs CEB insulation..

Wind resistance comparisons between one building method and another..

Water impermeability..

Is there a source that details all (or at least most of) the natural building methods, their strengths and weaknesses, how to combine them to maximize results between form and function, etc..?

Ill try to contain myself..thank you

Karl

Hello Karl, this is something we are also looking into deeply.
I have yet to find a "bible" that covers all of it however this site has thus far been the one with the most resources, I am not affiliated with them - just something I came across.

I think Paul has a video with Ianto in it.

Thank you so much for posting this. I've been reading about quite a few of these techniques for months now, but I was lost in regards to some of the finer distinctions between things like cob, soil cement, and adobe. This website was very helpful.
