The Basics of Permaculture Design, first published in Australia in 1996, is an excellent introduction to the principles of permaculture, design processes, and the tools needed for designing sustainable gardens, farms, and larger communities. Packed with useful tips, clear illustrations, and a wealth of experience, it guides you through designs for gardens, urban and rural properties, water harvesting systems, animal systems, permaculture in small spaces like balconies and patios, farms, schools, and ecovillages. This is both a do-ityourself guide for the enthusiast and a useful reference for permaculture designers.

My very favorite Permaculture book. Small but concise, a real good guide to implement Permaculture in your daily life. 5 stars also for it's ability to make it very simple without putting to much philosophy or historical and geopolitical as some other esotherics do.

This was the ideal introduction I needed to talk some what intelligently about the back-in-vogue topic of permaculture. The book is written very well as a quick reference guide particularly considering the breadth of the subject matter.

I was really surprised with this book. Actually, I bought it blindly, with no recomendations.
When I read it, I felt relieved to see that it was so well written, with excellent theory and beautifull and clear drawings.
The writter sais his opinions, wich went very well with what I already believed.
Sustainability and Respect with yourself and nature is what this book brings.
Permaculture and Agroecology is the cure to our world.
