Permaculture: Principles and Pathways with DVD

Description

Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability – Revised 2017

Principles and Pathways integrates 25 years of thinking and teaching to show a whole new way of understanding and action behind a simple set of design principles. These principles are relevant to every aspect of how we reorganise our lives, communities and landscapes to creatively adapt to the ecological realities which shape human destiny. It is essential reading for permaculture designers and accessible to a wide range of critical thinkers.

For students and teachers of permaculture this book provides something more fundamental and distilled than Mollison’s encyclopaedic Designers Manual. For the general reader, this book provides refreshing perspectives on a range of environmental issues and shows how permaculture is much more than a system of gardening. For anyone seriously interested in understanding the foundations for sustainable design and culture, this book is essential reading.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

David Holmgren is best known as the co-originator with Bill Mollison of the permaculture concept following the publication of Permaculture One in 1978. Within the growing and international permaculture movement, David is respected for his commitment to presenting permaculture ideas through practical projects and teaching by personal example, that a sustainable lifestyle is a realistic, attractive and powerful alternative to dependent consumerism. As well as constant involvement in the practical side of permaculture, David is passionate about the philosophical and conceptual foundations for sustainability, which he explored in Future Scenarios (2009), and Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability (2003/2017) and his most recent book RetroSuburbia (2018). With an increasingly high profile as a public speaker, David Holmgren provides leadership with his refreshing and unorthodox approach to the environmental issues of our time. David lives with his partner Su Dennett at “Melliodora“, a one-hectare permaculture demonstration site at Hepburn Springs, Central Victoria, Australia. Visit his web site at holmgren.com.au.
