Greetings friends...

At September - October's International Permaculture Convergence in
Western Australia it was thought time to produce:

* a bibliography of books, videos, periodicals, CD-ROM's, databases and
other media/ publications which are directly related to the practice of
permaculture

* a list of permaculture publication (including video/ still
photography/ multimedia/ on-line) editors, writers and producers

* a listing of permaculture periodicals (magazines, journals).

Pacific Edge Permaculture agreed to take on the role of producing this
resource. The bibliography and other listings would appear in print and,
if possible, as an on-line WWW resource.

We would like to invite you to participate in this endeavour.

If you wamt to participate, please submit proposals for inclusion in the
bibliography and associated listings.

Submissions may be emailed or posted to the addresses which appear on
the tail of this letter.

PUBLICATIONS...

AIM
To compile a database of various media which are DIRECTLY related to the
implementation of permaculture design.

CRITERIA
Submissions may be any media - books, periodicals, videos, CD-ROM's or
other formats.

Publications submitted must be DIRECTLY relevant to permaculture design
and implementation.

Submissions will be assessed, where possible, for inclusion. Some
submissions may not be included where they are considered to be
indirectly relevant to permaculture practice.

SUBMISSIONS
In this order:
1. Title of publication.
2. Author (s)/ editors; year of publication; publisher; publishers city/

country.
3. Brief description:

- brief rundown of contents
- your impressions of the publication

permaculture design and
practice.

address from where it can be purchased.

This information may be edited for length and relevancy.

* Videos: Please tell us what format the video is produced in (eg PAL).

for?
Would it be useful to the practice of permaculture in schools?

NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE PUBLICATIONS: Same format of reporting as for
SUBMISSIONS (above) plus language published in.

Please attach other information you consider relevant.


ANOTHER idea coming from the Sixth International Permaculture
Convergence publishing group was to compile a listing of permaculture
publishers, editors, writers and periodicals.

If you are, work for or know any of the above, please submit details in
the following order:

1. PERMACULTURE PUBLISHER:
A/ Name of publisher
B/ ADDRESS/ phone/ fax/ email/ World Wide Web address
C/ Titles and year of your publications which are relevant to
permaculture
D/ Other relevant information.

2. EDITORS/ WRITERS FOR PERMACULTURE PUBLICATIONS:
Are you a writer or editor for permaculture literature?

Please let us know:
A/ Your name
2/ Address (post, phone, fax, email, WWW)
3/ Titles and year of any permaculture publications you have written/
edited.
4/ Your company name or whether you are freelance.
5/ Other relevant experience.

3. PERMACULTURE PERIODICALS
1/ Name of periodical.
2/ Frequency of publication (ie. monthly, quarterly, annual etc).
3/ Address of periodical.
4/ Name of editor.
5/ Brief description of periodical.
6/ Target readership.
7/ Brief description of contents.

OTHER THINGS:
1. Has anyone heard of a book entitled "Two Ears of Corn"?

If you have, could you let us know from where we can acquire a copy and
the publication details/ description. We would be interested in
obtaining a review copy.

2. Does anyone know the publisher of the revised edition of Jean
Jeavon's book "How to Grow More Vegetables", about biointensive
gardening?

I believe it first appeared in the 1970's but has been republished in
the 1990's.

We would be interested in acquiring a copy for review in several
publications in Australia, and to assess whether the book contains
techniques and approaches relevant to overseas development assistance
work.

3. There is also a book published in North America on semi-arid
gardening/ small scale farming in developing countries which, I believe,
focuses on South America.

Does anyone know what this title may be and from where we can obtain a
copy?

Thanks for your assistance in this endeavour.
