An introduction to permaculture. This is the first in a series of 15 pamphlets based on the 1981 Permaculture Design Course given by Bill Mollison at The Rural Education Center, Wilton, New Hampshire, USA. Elizabeth Beyor, without compensation, transcribed tape recordings of the course and subsequently edited them into the 15 pamphlets. Thelma Snell typed all 15 pamphlets and laid-out most of them. Lisa Barnes contributed illustrations to pamphlets II, IX, and XI. Bill Mollison edited the pamphlets for accuracy and style, as did I, their publisher, Dan Hemenway. I also performed computer typesetting for this edition. After about 10 years of using Thelma’s typescript, we were able to offer a typeset version, which is at once more compact, saving trees and money, and more readable. Now we also offer the pamphlets in electronic form, so that they may be read directly by computer without use of any paper, saving more trees. This edition has been slightly reedited to make it more readable, accurate, and up-to-date. In deference to the monumental tasks of love in this work, often painstaking, always careful and caring, and with Bill MollisonÕs consent, I have placed these pamphlets in the public domain. Their reproduction is free to all and encouraged. Credit, above all to Bill Mollison and secondly to Yankee Permaculture, is proper and appreciated. We have rough Spanish translations of a few Permaculture Design Course Pamphlets, some French translations, and some German translations. To obtain the latest list of translations we have available, order Permaculture Paper #27 from the Yankee Permaculture order form. This is our list of special order documents. Volunteer translators are needed, particularly for Spanish versions. Since these pamphlets are in the public domain, we expect that there are translations of which we have not heard. If you encounter any, please let us know. Through the efforts of volunteers, we have placed this survey of permaculture in the public domain, supplementing the copyrighted material that is available. Just as we encourage you to reproduce these pamphlets, we urge you to respect the copyright of other permaculture books and publications. Always request permission to reproduce copyrighted material. Always abide by the decision of the copyright holder. Volunteers are still greatly needed in all phases of our permaculture work. We hope that these pamphlets encourage you to join the champions of Earth, our mother, whether you call your work permaculture, something else, or no particular name at all. And if you wish to pursue permaculture, please note that we offer a large selection of permaculture publications, a journal, a correspondence Permaculture Design Course, and that we are also available to deliver lectures, lead workshops, and teach Permaculture Design Courses anywhere in the world. To purchase any of these pamphlets on computer disk, please consult our order form. For our Mother, the Earth, Dan Hemenway. Sparr, Florida, USA, January 2001. Ninth edition. ...
