* Two New Listings in Our Special Order Catalog (YPC Paper #27)
SP-46 How to Live--Free at Last by Dr. P. ffyske Howden. This book
offers "great escape into genteel frugality + vehicle for $28 weekly on
1/4 acre - or in an apartment?" "Spend only 2 hours weekly working at
home life-support systemsx. Choosing a site wisely, afford a big quality
$13,000 kit home. Liberate yourself from boring drudgery into relaxed
creativity with cleverly reduced housework, using alternatives & by
growing only multi-use tree veggies, planting a mere 4 trees monthly
including natives, many outside front fences." We find this to be a
valuable source of ideas, inventions, standard designs, and inspiration
for permaculture design and living. Australian print version, 120 pages.
(US page format will be more pages.) Computer disk, MAC Macwrite or TEXT,
$25 base price + P&H (See disk rate sheets for other formats.) Print-out
or photocopy (our option), $35.00 + P&H. Australians order directly from
the author at Back Yard Tech Enterprises, Cone St., Macleay Island QLD
4184. Available as SP. 46 from our Special Order Catalog. (Order the
entire special order catalog, Yankee Permaculture Paper #27, using the
Yankee Permaculture Order form. An order form of our regular publications
is available on request.)
SP. 47 Cornucopia - A Source Book of Edible Plants by Stephen Facciola.
This 676 large-format page book lists about 3,000 plant species useful as
food and provides detailed cultivar listings for more than 110 cultivated
crops. The book furnishes botanical listings by family of vascular plants,
fungi, algae, and bacteria, a special section of cultivar listings, a
cross-referenced list of sources where materials described can be
obtained, an index of species native or naturalized to North America, an
Index of species not listed in Kunkeel, a general index of families and
genera, and appendices of abbreviations, for type of product offered,
bibliographical citations, and descriptions for plant sources. Fascinating
reading in its own right, Cornucopia is an invaluable tool for
permaculturists for such purposes as finding sources of "obscure" species,
identifying food uses of plants on site, and determining additional uses
for food plants. We regard this as an essential book for every
permaculture library. Formerly listed on the regular Yankee Permaculture,
we appear to have saturated our market for this text. It is too important
to abandon, so we still offer it through special order. Print version, $43
+ p&h. Computer disk Windows format, $72 + p&h. [We do not generate
these disks in-house, so our usual disk terms do not apply.]
