It's a general introduction to permaculture.
There are practical information, but also more of the (theoretical) reasoning behind garden zoning, layering designs of food forests, soil building. At times, it tends to ramble; I give that as the reason why it took me awhile to finish. I gave myself breaks. Yet, I guess this is a good or great permaculture introduction because of the theoretical information. I liked the photographs, but they should have had more.
I've also watched youtube lectures of the author Toby Hemenway. At the end of his lecture he shows images of an eco-village or resort next to the ocean in the Bajamas. They had built two open cesspits covered with soil and gravel. Different sorts of plants - bushes, shrubs, and trees - were planted to filter the effluence. Within a few years, the cesspits was hidden behind a tower of greenery. See, it's the opposite of what Outkast been singing. Poo-poo can really smell like roses ... eventually.
