Permaculture - Principles & Pathways Beyond Sustainability

East Meon: Permanent Publications, 2011. First Edition. Original decorated wrappers. Owner's name written on front free endpaper. Spine, cover & corners somewhat worn. ; David Holmgren is an Australian ecologist, author, and one of the co-originators of the permaculture movement, a holistic approach to sustainable living that emphasizes working with natural systems. Born in 1955, Holmgren became interested in environmental sustainability and ecological design at a young age. In the 1970s, he collaborated with Bill Mollison to develop permaculture, a concept focused on designing agricultural and living systems that mimic the resilience and efficiency of natural ecosystems. Their groundbreaking work laid the foundation for permaculture as a global movement aimed at creating sustainable, self-sufficient communities. Holmgren's influential books, including Permaculture One (1978) and Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability (2002) , have been widely read and are considered key texts in the permaculture field. His work emphasizes not just sustainable farming but a broader philosophy of sustainability that includes energy, architecture, and social systems. Over the years, Holmgren has continued to innovate in the field, promoting permaculture principles for both rural and urban settings. Through his teaching, writing, and practical applications, Holmgren has become a leading figure in the environmental and sustainability movements. ; 24.3 x 18 x 2 cms; 286 pages. Very Good .
