Sustainable and regenerative design through permaculture -- Arid climates: desert and steppe zones -- Tropical/equatorial climates: forest and grassland zones -- Temperate/subtropical climates: humid and highland zones -- Temperate/subtropical climates: Mediterranean and maritime zones -- Snow climates: continental and taiga zones.
Urban gardeners. Seed-saving collectives. Intentional communities. Renewable energy innovators and proponents of gift economies. How are these seemingly disparate groups connected? Based on common ethics of sustainable cultures throughout history, the ecological design systems of permaculture is the common thread that weaves them into a powerful, potentially revolutionary - or evolutionary - movement. Sustainable Revolution features photographs, interviews, and essays profiling 60 thriving community-based projects in diverse climates across the planet. Contributors include: David Holmgren, Vandana Shiva, Charles Eisenstein, Starhawk, Erik Assadourian, Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, Albert Bates, and Geoff Lawton.--COVER.
