Originally published in 2004 and later revised and updated, the book is considered a definitive reference for ecological design in cooler, maritime climates. Whitefield, one of the leading voices in European permaculture, tailors global permaculture ideas to the specific environmental and cultural conditions of temperate areas. The book covers a wide range of subjects, including soil health, water systems, climate adaptation, woodland management, energy use, housing, and food production. It provides clear and actionable guidance for projects of all scales, whether in urban gardens, rural homesteads, or larger-scale farms. A strong emphasis is placed on the permaculture design process, encouraging readers to thoroughly observe and understand their land before implementing solutions. Whitefield presents practical tools and strategies to help integrate natural systems and human needs in a harmonious way, stressing long-term sustainability and resilience. In addition to technical instruction, the book explores social and community aspects of permaculture, emphasizing the importance of cooperative living and shared resources. Richly illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and charts, the manual is both educational and inspirational, offering a deeply thoughtful approach to living in balance with nature..
