Bookshelf Special - People and Permaculture
People & Permaculture:
Caring & Designing for Ourselves, Each Other & The Planet
By Looby McNamara
Paperback, 304 pp, 9.7" X 7.4", 2012
Have you heard about permaculture as a holistic set of design tools but have no
idea how to apply it to your interactions with other people? Finally, a comprehensive
guide to using permaculture principles in your life in addition to your yard! This
is the first published book on social permaculture and it takes you through zone
00 (yourself) through your immediate relationships, group process, and how to
envision and be the change you want to see in the world. I am not usually
a “self-help” book kind of person, yet I was engaged by Looby’s
use of nature as a metaphor. She has a firm grasp on systems thinking that
I found accessible and inspiring.
Those familiar with permaculture will recognize the framework: use of the three
ethics (earth care, people care, fair share), patterns from nature, observation,
inputs and outputs, etc. with an exciting new twist. Spirals of abundance and
erosion, for example, explored through the lens of personal health. When
you feel good, you take care of yourself, you get a lot done, and you feel good,
etc.
There are over 50 activities to deepen your understanding and start actually doing the personal growth as you go. Check out this awesome book if you are looking for practical tools to be your best self!
