Last Wednesday an interview with me and Mary Zemach, who has a Pc site in
Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA, aired on National Public Radio's Morning
Edition. The web page for the interview is
http://www.npr.org/programs/talkingplants/features/2002/hemenway/index.html
and there's a link there for those who want to hear the 8 minute broadcast.

It's prompted a huge amount of email to me, to NPR, to my publisher, and
shot my book's ranking on Amazon from about #3000 to #140. It's about using
Pc strategies for water conservation. The publicity should be good for
permaculture.
