David Holmgren was born in Fremantle, Western Australia in 1955. As a child of working class political activists he was greatly influenced by the social revolution of the late 60s and early 70s. While traveling around Australia in 1973 he fell in love with the Tasmanian landscape and joined the innovative Environmental Design School in Hobart. An intense working relationship with his mentor Bill Mollison, over the following three years, led to the permaculture concept and set the course of his later life. As the young co-author of Permaculture I in 1978, David shunned the limelight and focused on further developing his practical and design skills for a self-reliant lifestyle.

Softcover - 286 pages

Do mainstream concepts of sustainability dodge the critical issue of global energy peak?

Are there ways to live within nature's limits while providing a secure future for our children and justice for everyone?

David Holmgren uses permaculture principles as a framework for an empowering but challenging vision of creative adaptation to a world of energy descent.

This book builds on the extraordinary success of the permaculture concept and global permaculture movement (over the last 25 years), to provide a more cerebral and controversial contribution to the sustainability debate.

Although far less prominent in the spread and popularisation of permaculture than Bill Mollison, David Holmgren is an ecological pioneer destined to have a major influence on the sustainability debate.
