Product Description
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-it-yourself guide for the enthusiast and a useful reference for permaculture designers.

 Great book! August 29, 2009
Dan Paskin (Rio de Janeiro, Brasil)
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.
 A bit scant on any new ideas August 9, 1999

Ross Mars does approach the subject from an assumption of complete ignorence from his readers, so he doesn't write over anyone's head- which is good, but it really seems a bit redundant to write yet another introduction to permaculture. not a bad book, but you might as well spend your money on something a little less superficial. (ie. Mollison's books; even Rosemary Morrow is a bit more thorough)
