Author Biography
Erwin Thoma, born 1962 in Austria, has authored several very successful books about trees, natural wood and building with natural untreated timber. He was born and grew up in 'Bruck an der Glocknerstraße', in the Austrian Alps. His grandfather taught Erwin traditional ways of building and looking after the forest. With his wife and children Erwin moved to a very isolated area in the Karwendel ranges ( Austrian Alps) and worked as a ranger/ forester. Due to school commitments, the family moved back to town into a modern home where his boys became seriously ill. The family traced the cause to unhealthy building materials and renovated the home with untreated wood. The children recovered and Erwin started on a mission to develop a healthier way of building. His company Holz 100 has by now built countless family homes and large hotel complexes all over the world, one university in Oslo and one in Moskow and many other exciting projects in natural, untreated Moon Wood.
