Dear all,

Regarding printed and virtual outlets for permaculture information that
Jack mentioned...

A request: I hope that if anyone reading these posts is sitting on
innovative pc information which has a cool temperate slant and is looking
for an outlet, that they know that Permanent Publications is always seeking
good articles for PC Magazine and also publishes a number of book per year,
such as 'Plants For a Future' by Ken Fern. It is our aim to desseminate
cool temperate pc infomration as well as we possibly can.

Finally, the fundamental difference between us and conventional
scientistics/academics/business people etc. is that we are trying to design
systems from a holistic perspective, not analysis discrete parts of one
element, often in isolation. So we are by nature often generalists as well
as specialists and this is way we do not fit into the convention shoes of
your usual business person or leacturer.
