Permaculture. A Practical Guide for a Sustainable Future.

Bill Mollison.

The author coined the term ‘permaculture’ in the 1970s and, at the time of publication, was the leading expert in the field. Permaculture is the conscious design and maintenance of economical and agriculturally productive ecosystems that have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems. This book is a step-by-step working manual that provides a dozen design methods with map overlays, flow diagrams and component analyses. There are many high quality line drawings and diagrams, as well as 130 colour photographs. The book is printed on recycled, acid-free paper. Originally published in Australia in 1988, this is the first American edition. An outstanding, significant and farsighted piece of work with as much relevance now as when first published. A large heavy book.
