- Indispensible for grassroots community activists, group facilitators, permaculture teachers and designers Review by Graham Burnett, from Permaculture magazine
-
This book deals with solutions rather than problems, and opens with a key-note article by Andy Goldring of the Permaculture Association. He advocates permaculture not as a set of 'gardening techniques', but as an ethically based holistic design system applicable to themes such as sustainable living, decision making, health, education, food, free spaces, media and direct action. Whilst arguing for fundamental social change, this isn't about 'seizing power, but challenging the way power operates and is linked to wealth and private power', and the authors have a very clear belief in the abilties of ordinary people to self-organise through voluntary agreements and mutual co-operation. Indispensible for grassroots community activists, group facilitators, permaculture teachers and designers, and anyone else engaged in world change work at whatever level. (Posted on 07/07/2010)Review
