There are a lot of homesteading and gardening books out there in the sustainable living sphere of influence, many of which are very useful, very entertaining, or both. However, it goes nearly without saying that a lot of the advice from an author in sunny, warm, dry southern California wont be the same as the advice from an author in rainy, cold coastal Maine. So, we thought it would be interesting to put together a map of some of our favorite sustainable living authors/bloggers and where they hail from. We also thought it might be helpful to overlay those locations with the USDA growing zones map to make it easier if anyone wanted to seek out authors in their own region or with similar environments.
The map below is just a starting point. The author list is certainly not complete, and it would be awesome to be able to index authors by other maps as well, such as annual rainfall or soil type. (The map is also decidedly U.S.-centric.) If you have suggestions for other authors to include, or other useful formats, let us know in the comments section!

EDIT: Updated 2/22/15 to include Annas suggestions. Thanks Anna! (And it only took us 13 months to get around to it!)
