Permaculture : principles & pathways beyond sustainability / David Holmgren.
"David Holmgren uses permaculture principles as a framework for an empowering but challenging vision of creative adaptation to a world of energy descent. This book builds on the extraordinary success of the permaculture concept and global permaculture movement (over the last 25 years), to provide a more cerebral and controversial contribution to the sustainability debate. Although far less prominent in the spread and popularisation of permaculture than Bill Mollison, David Holmgren is an ecological pioneer destined to have a major influence on the sustainability debate." --Book jacket
