PERMACULTURE: A Designers' Manual

So many books show us just how unsustainable our societies are, and leave us feeling hopeless and powerless. This book, 
as a foundation of Permaculture Design, does just the opposite. There are many challenges in the world today, but there 
are also many solutions...if only we begin applying them. This book provides a framework to begin understanding the 
natural processes around us, and lays out principles of design that anyone can apply to redesign the way we interface 
with this world. We are each powerful enough to bring forth needed change.
We begin to understand the movement of the sun; the changes of climate; trees and plants and their interaction with 
their surrounding environment. Grow in your understanding of water and its role, how to store it and clean it and reuse 
it again and again; Increase your understanding of soil and its role in creating and maintaining life. Learn to design 
with consideration of the elements, begin to see the natural patterns which make up the world, utilize the resources 
already around us to meet the demands and needs that exist.
The most exciting part about Permaculture is how it can be applied anyplace, without big budgets, beginning today. Yet 
it is also relevant on a much broader and grander scale.
