Permaculture Design is a powerful tool for creating systems that meet our humans needs while supporting the ecosystem as a whole. It applies ecological principles to designing gardens, farms, community projects and human settlements. The standard 72 hour Permaculture Design Course (PDC) is taught worldwide to farmers, gardeners, design professionals and everyday folk who are interested in creating a healthier, more equitable planet. Rosemary Morrow provides information on each unit of the PDC's curriculum. Using real life experience and gathered evidence of permaculture's effectiveness, this fully revised and updated edition contains a wealth of technical information for teaching a PDC. Included in this text are new findings in emerging disciplines, such as regenerative agriculture. An important text for teachers and students in the areas of:ArchitectureLandscape designEcologyGeographyRegenerative agriculturesAgro-ecologyAgro-forestry

It sounds too good to be true: you can save money and the world, inoculate yourself against many of the ills of modern life, and enjoy everything more on both the sensual and profound levels. Preposterous! A tweak here, a twiddle there; every strategy in The Art Of Frugal Hedonism has been designed to help you target the most important habits of mind and action needed for living frugally but hedonistically. Apply a couple, and you'll definitely have a few extra dollars in your pocket and enjoy more sunsets. Apply the lot, and you'll wake up one day and realise that you're happier, wealthier, fitter, and more in lust with life than you'd ever thought possible.Never has such a compelling case been made for putting your wallet away and looking around at every other form of pleasure with freshly attentive eyes.Annie and Adam are lifelong cheapskates who operate on the principle that enjoying life is a lot more likely to happen if you learn how to do it on little or no money. Decades of this approach saw them realise they also had more free time, savings, and flexibility than many of their more fiscally-oriented peers. Not to mention smaller ecological footprints, and blissful immunity to a raft of common modern ills, from social isolation to obesity.The Art of Frugal Hedonism reveals their core strategies for lowering your consumption while raising your quality of life. Whether you are already challenging cultural consumption assumptions (but would love a little backup), or are looking for a real kickstart to help you revise your current relationship with spending, there is something in here for you.
