As a permaculture teacher I am often asked how we can most effectively get permaculture ideas into the mainstream.

This gem of a book published last year, is slim in profile but a ‘bundle’ (to use a thatching term), in fullness of content. Barry O’Reilly is an archeologist and historian. He has written extensively about Ireland’s heritage of traditional buildings. This is marvellous because at the present zealous Irish rate of destruction, we will at least be able to weep over the pretty pictures in his books and keen loudly in mourning over the descriptions of what is and will be, the dust of our ancestors’ legacy.
