Great one stop shop for a broad overview of Permaculture. Review by Limey

Review

This was the ideal introduction I needed to talk some what intelligently about the back-in-vogue topic of permaculture. The book is written very well as a quick reference guide particularly considering the breadth of the subject matter. (Posted on 05/11/2012)

Beyond the narrow definition of permaculture Review by Len Marlow, Renewable energy engineer Shropshire UK

Review

Permaculture has developed a reputation for being a type of agriculture. This is a beautifully crafted book for moving you away from that narrow description.
Many of the principles of permaculture are covered in enough depth to encourage you to take the next step i.e. to try it for yourself. My expectations are also that you would come back to this book more than most in times of permaculture crisis in your project.
