Beyond the War on Invasive Species: A Permaculture… par David Holmgren
Interesting counterpoint on managing invasive species. I still hate the Oriental bittersweet and morning glory taking over my yard. The thesis is that invasive species are a symptom of a degraded ecosystem, and that invasives can play a role in helping it heal.
A heady description of many ways in which the 12 permaculture principles can apply to our current predicament. Entirely theoretical; don't look for practices or methods here.
Lots of thought went into this book. Countless different issues and applications are considered herein. This was both a strength and a weakness, in my opinion. The book covers many angles from which to view the principles, but does so in a way that seems at times to jump around. This occasionally made it tiresome to read, jumping from one thing to the next in rapid succession.
Chapter 12 was the most eye-opening for me, though I can't say one would get the most out of it if they didn't also read the rest of the book first.… (plus d'informations)

More theoretical than practical, with a lot of dense explication of the currently unsustainable nature of society that doesn't really help the neophyte practitioner to put these ideas into practice. Still, the identification of the basic principles alone is useful, demonstrating how uncommon "common sense" can be.
Explaining the permaculture concept and 12 underlying principles. Important for anyone interested in the future of mankind and the world entering the energy descent era post oil-peak.
