Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This critically acclaimed and definitive permaculture design book was the inspiration that BBC2's Brigit Strawbridge (of Its Not Easy Being Green) needed to attend her first permaculture design course with Patrick Whitefield, setting her and her family off on a voyage of discovery which is helping to introduce and inspire others. Already hailed in the UK, Europe and America as definitive, and reprinted by popular demand, The Earth Care Manual offers an inspirational yet practical vision of a sustainable future invaluable to those new to the subject as well as to the experienced practitioner. The permaculture movement started in the 1970s as a sustainable alternative to modern industrial agriculture, taking its inspiration from natural ecosystems. It initially placed an emphasis on gardening, with proponents of permaculture since expanding on its principles; addressing all subjects vital to sustainability, from building and community design to food, energy, water, microclimate and shelter. All of these topics and more are addressed in The Earth Care Manual, demonstrating that permaculture is an interconnecting framework linking a diversity of green ideas.Its aims are a low input, high output efficient use of resources, and genuine sustainability. The Earth Care Manual gives a vision of a sustainable future and the practical steps we can take towards it, both large and small, urban and rural. Written by Patrick Whitefield, one of Europes foremost teachers and practitioners of temperate permaculture, it explains in depth how to apply permaculture to any situation, from the smallest of buildings or apartments, to houses, gardens, orchards, farms and woodlands. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Hardcover. Zustand: gut. 1989. By the end of the last century, the only region in all of Europe where the natural vegetation remained untouched over large expanses was Eastern Europe. Information on the vegetation of this region however, remained mostly unavailable to western scientists although the ecological approach to botanical research originated in Eastern Europe. Heinrich Walter was born in Russia, studied Natural Sciences - with emphasis on botany - in Odessa and is familiar with all relevant Russian literature on ecology. This volume thus offers scientists worldwide a unique and comprehensive survey of all relevant research, including the mostly unknown literature published in Russian.

[Title from printed caption lower centre]. London : A. & S. Joseph, Myers & Co. 144 Leadenhall Street, [after 1842]. Chromolithograph, 253 x 378 mm, mounted on a fully contemporary backing sheet of marbled card, with an eyelet for hanging at top centre; some pale stains and light marks, mostly confined to the margins, otherwise very good condition; lacking the printed key. A single chromolithograph from a pedagogical folio of ten natural history prints published in London around 1843. 'These fifty-four different men and beasts of the southern temperate zone include a sperm whale and an orca. The ?laughing? sperm whale is a recurring image in nineteenth-century general natural history prints and dates from Bonnaterre (Paris, 1789)'(Ingalls, Elizabeth. Whaling Prints in the Francis B. Lothrop Collection, Salem : Peabody Museum, 1987, no. 426). The print also depicts a native of New Holland (after Baudin's voyage artist, Nicolas-Martin Petit) accompanied by a dingo; a lyrebird, kangaroo, wallaby, emu, echidna, wombat, and Xanthorrhoea (grass tree); a New Zealand M?ori; and a native of Patagonia with a hunting weapon bola(and, fancifully, a Marquesan club). A later edition of the Zones of the Earth portfolio was published by Caspar Studer in Winterthur, Switzerland, which Ingalls (ibid., no. 463) observes is a version'of a less refined quality overall.' The printed key to each of the chromolithographs in the Studer edition, however, was integral to the illustration, being printed in the bottom margin.…
