Review
This excellent little book serves as a very good introduction to the subject, covering all the basic elements of the subject, as well as illustrating it with examples more relevant to this climate than many of the Australian books. It is an excellent little book to give to people who know nothing about permaculture. It is beautifully illustrated and is the only permaculture book that you can fit in your back pocket (if you have large back pockets). --Rob Hopkins, www.transition.org
After a short but compelling introduction to the key issues, the bulk of the book is divided into explorations of the subjects which most people will be keen to learn about: 'In The City', 'In The Garden', 'On The Farm' and 'In The Community'. Permaculture In A Nutshell gives plenty of useful ideas on urban solutions. Perhaps best of all, this book makes you want to act. Clearly written, full of easily applied suggestions and complete with a section giving details on further reading and useful contacts, this book should be required reading for all budding permaculturists. --Rob Weston, Permaculture Magazine

what a great little book, when i first got it i was dissapointed by its small size, but as with many nuts - there is a whole lot of protein and other good things in a small package!!
the book is a great introduction to permaculture, perfect for the beginner who wants to know about farms, gardens, and city living and not just to specialise in one area. It has great examples and is very well written and has a great biblio at the end to give lots of info sources.
to sum up, its a great mulch from which to grow ideas!

A great basic introduction to the subject. The book is very short, but was enough to inspire me to want to learn more about permaculture and how I can apply it to my own life.

This is a great introduction to the concept of permaculture. I enjoyed the book so much I went and did a course with Patrick. Both are highly recommended.

Lots of background and theory but less practical information
This book is fine if you want to read about why permaculture is a good idea and how it works in principle. Read more
