Some may not be listed on our order form yet. * 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.) 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 catalog, Yankee Permaculture Paper #27, using the Yankee Permaculture Order form.) 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.] * PROD--Permaculture Review, Overview and Digest That's the name of the latest publication from Yankee Permaculture. Published in a newsletter format, PROD includes digests of articles and other information sources gleaned from our far flung permaculture connections. Any information of value in practicing permaculture is fair game. PROD reviews books, magazines, and organizations of particular interest to permaculturists. From time to time, a digest or review will encourage us to provide an overview of the topic. For example, in issue #1, two digests related to agroforestry encouraged us to include an agroforestry directory, selected from our master organizational database, TRIP. (TRIP is available in its entirety, of course. See our order form.) We'll also draw on our publications and suppliers databases, and our extensive library and files, to round out items digested from other publications. PROD volumes will consist of four issues with four pages per issue, if we can contain our enthusiasm. Already issue number one is six pages. That made room for a directory of hundreds of groups working in agroforestry, an article on permaculture ethics, a digested article on raising pigs on tree leaves in the tropics, a related article of feeding tree leaves to rabbits and chickens including a table never before published, a digest of an article on bamboo in permaculture design, a follow-up list of bamboo associations, and book reviews relating to agroforestry and bamboo. As subscriptions increase, we expect that the size of the issues will as well. Subscriptions are US$15 + p&h. Sample issues are $5 postpaid. For 1996, PROD is included as a bonus with our other newsletter, Robin, so if you choose you can get two newsletters for the price of one. PROD is also available on computer disk. Write for details. * New Edition of Domestic Energy Paper Domestic Energy Conservation & Generation: References, Resources, & Suppliers has been enlarged, re-edited and updated in a third edition for North America, now available. Listed on our order form as Yankee Permaculture Paper #13, the new edition expands and refines the treatment of basic energy conservation and generation principles, adds a table showing relative fuel values of wood from 30 species of North American trees, and appends lists of hundreds of US and Canadian addresses for resource groups and suppliers. More than 50 background publications are cited in the reference appendix. The paper addresses lifestyle adjustments for energy conservation, and permaculture design considerations concerning hot water, lighting, climate control, cooking, electricity, washing & drying, water conservation, toilets, and swimming pools. The compact pamphlet of 15 pages costs US$6.00 + P&H. Available on computer disk for $10 + P&H. * The Caretaker Gazette is available from Yankee Permaculture. The Caretaker Gazette matches land that needs care with the people who want to care for it. Land owners advertise positions for caretakers and potential caretakers advertise their availability. The scale is international with emphasis on the USA. A subscription is $24.00. Postage and handling are included in the price if mailed to the US. We have published two new editions in the Permaculture Design Course Pamphlet Series, Pamphlet II, Permaculture in Humid Landscapes and Pamphlet XI, Water in Permaculture. These are two of the most important pamphlets in the series. The new editions have easier-to-read type, more vigorous copy editing, and footnotes that bring them up to date. Prices of both pamphlets are unchanged. Permaculture in Humid Landscapes treats the land shapes in a rounded landscape shaped by the gentle erosion of runoff intercepted by vegetation. These are the lands where most people live. Water interception and storage, keyline cultivation, and placement of elements (such as houses and gardens) on these landscapes are some of the themes this paper addresses. This is the most heavily illustrated of the series, and, at 22 pages, one of the longest. Water in Permaculture builds on the humid landscapes pamphlet, and other pamphlets in the series, to treat particularly design for productive waters. Where low-input aquaculture leaves off, permaculture begins, getting multiple use of water as it moves through the area covered by the permaculture design. This 10-page pamphlet also features a number of helpful illustrations. Water for Every Farm is available! New Edition is Much Improved After being unavailable for a few years, P. A. Yeomans' invaluable book, Water for Every Farm can be bought again from Yankee Permaculture. This is newly edited by Yeomans' youngest son. It is easier to understand, with new, updated information for methods that develop rich, absorbent soil faster and more easily than by older keyline techniques. In this book, Yeomans' describes his brilliant system for storing rainwater, halting erosion, increasing soil fertility, and patterning the agricultural landscape. This is an essential book for anyone interested in Permaculture. The price is $30 + P&H. * YPC Publications on Computer Disk.
