Permaculture Starter Pack

Permaculture Starter Pack:
Introduction to Permaculture + Permaculture: A Designer's Manual
By Bill Mollison

The Permaculture Starter Pack contains the two most important books about permaculture, both written by Bill Mollison.

Introduction to Permaculture:
Published by Tagari Publications - Paperback - 21cm x 28cm

Introduction to Permaculture is written to introduce readers to Permaculture concepts and design strategies. It is abundantly illustrated with detailed diagrams and line drawings throughout. It includes a listing of useful Permaculture plants with descriptions and uses, and a further species list in useful categories.

The book is set out as a step-by-step introduction to Permaculture with detailed instructions. Using simple language it describes the range of Permaculture for general consumption.

Permaculture: A Designer's Manual:
Published by Tagari Publications - Hardcover - 22cm x 28cm

This is the definitive Permaculture design manual in print since 1988. It is the textbook and curriculum for the 72-hour Certificate course in Permaculture Design.

Written for teachers, students and designers, it follows on and greatly enlarges on the initial introductory texts, Permaculture One (1978) and Permaculture Two (1979) both of which are still in demand.

Very little of the material found in this book is reproduced from the former texts. It covers design methodologies and strategies for both urban and rural applications, describing property design and natural farming techniques.
