permaculture

[Holger Hieronimi <holger@tierramor.org>]

Saludos de México-

Nice, this is quite a complete permaculture library
actually there are quite a few new findings in that list for me - some 
of the suggested literature will definitely enhance my library soon, 
thank you

read our reading list we suggest in our permaculture courses (with 
Spanish comments) at
http://www.tierramor.org/permacultura/bibliografia.html

I wonder, why Holmgrens "Principles and Pathways" isn´t on the list, 
also the list sent in by Toby Hemenway omits this important part of PC 
literature. For me, it is an important actualization of the Permaculture 
concept, going more deeply into Permacultures scientific and 
"theoretical" underpinnings in systems ecology and systems thinking- 
yes, its not another one of the "How to make your sheetmulch garden" 
books, but nevertheless its in my opinion required reading for every 
serious permaculturist.

also "Mycelium Running" is missing, as well as the encyclopedic two 
volume "Edible Forest Gardens"Jacke/Tonsmeier magnum opus
what about Toensmeiers "Perennial vegetables" ?

the transition books from Rob Hopkins&Co cover important topics in the 
social field in permaculture

anyway, to all english speakers: you are well suited with first class 
information in your language-

our available libary in spanish is really limited.
The first edition of "Introducción a la Permacultura" from 94 suffered 
from a poor translation and was, in some contexts, more of an 
anti-propaganda, at least according to feedback we received here in 
Mexico- it seems that Tarigari is offering a revised edition on its 
webpage, but , quite interesting, they don´t send it to Mexico...

we had Alejandra Caballeros book (last reprint from 1997) as our only 
domestic reference, hopefully Eugenio Gras´s upcoming book will at least 
partly close the gap and meet the increasing need of having spanish info 
available.

Definitely the Indonesian Permaculture manuals are a valuable addition 
to the library of PC activists, especially those who want to work in the 
non affluent world - the manuals are downloadable for free at 
http://www.idepfoundation.org/permaculture.html

This are the best hands on manuals available, and an excellent 
complementation to Bills eclectic "Designers Manual" - Don¿t get me 
wrong, I appreciate the book a lot, its excellent, but its practical 
usefulness in our projects here in mexico was always relatively limited

saludos
