Permaculture Publications
NEW September 2009: The International Permaculture Solutions Journal resumes publication! Details of Volume II.
Since 1983, Yankee Permaculture has published journals, newsletters, papers, and pamphlets on many aspects of permaculture. Our goal has been to fill the gaps in existing permaculture literature, to pull together and/or better express information otherwise not available in useful form, and to extend the development of permaculture as a concept and movement. Much of the material we have published has been in direct response to needs we perceived in our teaching of the Elfin Permaculture Design Course as well as permaculture workshops and lectures.
We believe that these writings of almost 15 years increase in usefulness as time goes on. Meanwhile, thousands of people new to permaculture do not learn about this useful information. Therefore, we have assembled a summary of these writings by topics. We have skipped items of diminished relevance because they are no longer timely. We hope that you find this list useful. Ordering information is located in the Yankee Permaculture Order Form and/or in our Special Order Catalog (Yankee Permaculture Paper #27.)
We strive to make the information below complete and correct. If you find omissions or errors, please let us know. The number of pages indicated for an article or publication may change in some cases as we update information and/or convert documents from typescript to computer typesetting.
NEW September 2009: Plants for Use in Permaculture in the Tropics - New Edition, Reduced Price!
The second edition of Plants for Use in Permaculture in The Tropics is available as of Sept. 15, 2009. To the new edition we have added some photographs, tables reformatted for easier use, an enlarged and updated Index (nearly 500 entries), and a revised and updated Appendix of contact organizations.
The sixty-four-page publication features Dr. Franklin Martin's original 27 tables evaluating the multiple uses of plants in various categories, and his 64 profiles of individual plant species. Yankee Permaculture has added appendices of organizations and suppliers and the index.
We formerly priced the first edition at $20 on paper or CD. We now offer the first edition in print (only) for $10, as a clearance price while they last. It is printed on letter-sized paper punched for a three-hole binder. The new CD-only edition costs $25. Postage, handling, and related fees are extra: see the Yankee Permaculture Order Form for details. Click here to see the 2nd edition cover and table of contents.
