Books and Web Site Update
This email is to keep you up to date with progress on the awaited
publication of my book Permaculture: Principles & Pathways To
Sustainability.
Following discussions with professional editor and permaculture
activist Janet MacKensie, we have decided to rework the structure of
the book to focus directly on the principles. The Collected Writings
1978-2000 which were originally part of the book are being
progressively made available via our website.
A new Collected Writings page
http://www.spacountry.net.au/holmgren/CollWrit.html has been added to
our web site with a brief introductory paragraph about 26 articles in
chronological order. The first eight articles are now available as
downloadable pdf files. These download quickly and are easily read
on any computer system using Acrobat Reader. If you don't have this
on your system it is downloadable free from http://www.adobe.com
By making these articles available on the web site we hope to
stimulate further exploration and application of permaculture
concepts and provide access to some of the ideas and thinking which
has contributed to the book.
For a more specific summary of the book, I draw your attention to
"The Essence of Permaculture" which readable on the web site at
http://www.spacountry.net.au/holmgren/PCprins.html. This article is
key extracts from the book and has been updated from an earlier
version on the web site. This can be printed from browser. The
downloadable pdf version included original design principle icons
which were done for us by graphic artist Richard Telford.
For those of you interested in the weeds/landcare/stream management
debate, a recent report I did to the local landcare group is up on
their web site complete with colour photos and plans at
http://www.daylesford.net.au/landcare/ and click the Spring Ck
Project button
Also our What's On page has been expanded from notice about our
house, garden & Spring Ck tours to include notice of my speaking and
teaching engagements with links to organisers.
Also some of you may not be aware that our large format book Hepburn
Permaculture Gardens is back is print and available from us. In the
USA Chelsea Green is now our distributor and will have stock of the
book by December.
Work on the book is progressing but we are no longer making promises
about publication dates.
And for those of you in Victoria we are continuing to thin the forest
at Fryers Forest Eco-village and have durable bush poles, posts and
flitches available for sale. See our price list and technical
information at http://www.spacountry.net.au/holmgren/FFtimber.html
