Seeds of Woody Plants of North America is a greatly revised
edition
of the legendary U.S.D.A. Agriculture Handbook No. 450, Seeds of
Woody Plants in the United States. The new edition covers twice the
genera of plants, including new material on native plants used in
environmental plantings and Asian plant materials of importance. The
focus is on propagation from seed; vegetative propagation is not
covered. Presentation of material is condensed, however, and access
to the U.S.D.A. edition may be helpful for literature citations,
taxonomic information, tables, and chapters on seed biology,
genetics, pollen handling, and harvesting and storage procedures.

Agroforestry Today is a quarterly magazine that carries reports
from around the world on farming systems that focus on the
integration of trees, crops, and livestock, and the people who raise
them. It is one of the leading voices for agroforestry worldwide.
While the content deals mostly with sub-tropical and tropical
agroforestry, much of the information has universal applications
(e.g., mycorrhizae, on-farm research methods, soil-plant
interactions, tree establishment methods, etc.)

_Cornucopia II: A Source Book of Edible Plants_ by Stephen Facciola
(ISBN 0-9628087-2-5), published in 1998, is a large 8.5 x 11-inch
(22x28-centimeter) softcover, 713-page book and is published by

The Permaculture Quarterly, c/o Terry White, 37 Goldsmith St.,
Maryborough, Victoria 3465, Australia. The international permaculture
journal,
with in-depth articles on various permaculture techniques and
activities around the world.

The Permaculture Observer, 6488 Maxwelton Rd., Clinton, Washington,
98236. This is the newsletter of the newly formed Permaculture
Institute of North America - reporting on permaculture design and
methods in North America. Starting publication date is March, 1985.

Mollison, Bill and David Holmgren, Permaculture One (Corgi Books,
1978, $12.50).

Mollison, Bill, Permaculture Two (Tagari Books, 1979, $10.95). These
books are responsible for the expanding permaculture movement.
Philosophy, principles, and specific design information are detailed
in both. Written in Australia, many of the species recommendations are
relevant only for the southern hemisphere, yet the books are important
reading for all. Both are available from the International Tree Crops
Institute, PO Box 666, Winters, CA 95694.

Fukuoka, Masanobu, The One Straw Revolution (Emmaus, PA: Rodale Press,
1978, $9.95). A Japanese natural farmer tells of his
philosophies and techniques - perhaps the most important philosophical
work on agriculture ever written.

Smister, Carol, Nature's Design (Emmaus, PA: Rodale Press, 1982). This
is the ideal guide book for those interested in developing site
analysis prior to creating a landscape design. Though not addressing
permaculture design, per se, the step by step site analysis procedure
described is invaluable.

Alexander, Christopher et al., A Pattern Language (New York: Oxford
University Press, 1977). This pudgy, expensive book (about $35) is
worth every penny to those remodeling or landscaping, and is a must
for those working in the fields of architecture, landscape design, and
community design. Human and environmental needs are laid out simply,
such as "Southeast sun in the kitchen" with an explanation and
design suggestions. This is followed by linkages to other patterns
such as kitchen garden, and breakfast nook.

Korn, Larry, Barbara Snyder, and Mark Musick, eds., The Future Is
Abundant (Tilth Assn., 4649 Sunnyside North, Seattle, WA 98103, 1982,
$12.95). A resource guide for sustainable agriculture. The numerous
addresses and references can save hours of library research and an
extensive species index will be of great use to those in the Pacific
Northwest (USA).

Altieri, Miguel, Agroecology: The Scientific Basis Of Alternative
Agriculture (self-published, 1983, $11.00, order from 1050 San Pablo
Ave.,
Albany, Ca. 94706). A textbook that describes the science behind
ecological agriculture.

Quinney, John, "Designing Sustainable Small Farms And Homesteads" in
MOTHER EARTH NEWS, July/August 1984, p. 54. Covers the
design principles, guidelines, as well as the design process.
