The entire text of Section 1 "Invisible Structures "of my ebook on urban
permaculture is online at http://www.ipermie.net/ipermiesample.pdf and
may be downloaded and read freely. It is about a permaculture approach
to invisible structures. Below are the chapters of that section and
their brief summaries. The section begins on page 177 if you want to go
directly to it.
