permaculture in practice and thought

This is a small, personal and powerful book. In it the author takes you through his journey to permaculture and how he used it on the land he revitalized at Sol y Sombra in New Mexico. It is a good starting point for permaculture users who live in much drier climates than the typical semi-tropical ones depicted in most permaculture books. It is 151 pages in length. It is in no way a textbook, so the lessons have to be gleaned from the prose. But it is beautiful if nurturing land speaks to you.
