THE PERMACULTURE CITY: REGENERATIVE DESIGN FOR URBAN, SUBURBAN, AND TOWN RESILIENCE
Book ID/图书代码： 03008015B82146
English Summary/英文概要： Permaculture is more than just the latest buzzword; it offers positive solutions for many of the environmental and social challenges confronting us. And nowhere are those remedies more needed and desired than in our cities. The Permaculture City provides a new way of thinking about urban living, with practical examples for creating abundant food, energy security, close-knit communities, local and meaningful livelihoods, and sustainable policies in our cities and towns. The same nature-based approach that works so beautifully for growing food―connecting the pieces of the landscape together in harmonious ways―applies perfectly to many of our other needs. Toby Hemenway, one of the leading practitioners and teachers of permaculture design, illuminates a new way forward through examples of edge-pushing innovations, along with a deeply holistic conceptual framework for our cities, towns, and suburbs.
The Permaculture City begins in the garden but takes what we have learned there and applies it to a much broader range of human experience; we’re not just gardening plants but people, neighborhoods, and even cultures. Hemenway lays out how permaculture design can help towndwellers solve the challenges of meeting our needs for food, water, shelter, energy, community, and livelihood in sustainable, resilient ways. Readers will find new information on designing the urban home garden and strategies for gardening in community, rethinking our water and energy systems, learning the difference between a “job” and a “livelihood,” and the importance of placemaking and an empowered community.
This important book documents the rise of a new sophistication, depth, and diversity in the approaches and thinking of permaculture designers and practitioners. Understanding nature can do more than improve how we grow, make, or consume things; it can also teach us how to cooperate, make decisions, and arrive at good solutions.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 永久培养不仅仅是一种最新的时尚，它还为许多我们面临的环境和社会问题挑战提供了正面的解决方法，而且在现代城市生活中，我们非常需要也渴望这一套补救措施。《永久培养城市》为城市生活提供了一套全新的思考方式，书中还提到了许多实际的操作案例，例如在我们的城市和城镇中创造充足食物、能源安全、紧密社区、有意义的生活和可持续的政策。这些以自然为基础的方法使得粮食生长-各处的景观以和谐的方式连接在一起-并应用于我们的其他需求中。托比•海明威，永久培养设计的领先实践者和培训师，通过许多尖端的创新思想启发了永久培养设计前进的道路，也使读者对于城市、城镇和郊区的再生设计有了一个整体的概念框架。
《永久培养城市》起初在园艺中得以应用，我们运用其中学到的用于更宽广的领域；我们现在培育的不止是植物，还有人类，社区，甚至还有文化。海明威列出了永久培养设计如何帮助城镇居民解决日常生活中遇到的食物、水源、栖息地、能源、社区、生活可持续和稳定问题。
读者在阅读的过程中会发现在城镇家庭园艺和社区园艺中的新方法，会对水源和能源系统有全新的思考，理解“工作”和“生活”的区别，以及场所营造和授权社区的重要性。
《永久培养城市》为永久培养的实践者和设计者们提供了全新的思路。对自然的理解可以帮助我们提高种植、制作和消耗事物的方法，同时还可以帮助我们如何合作、做决定、并达成新的解决方法。（XAT）
Awards/获奖情况：“许多寻求更为充实生活的人都希望减少他们的生态足迹，为不确定的未来建立弹性选择，采用永久培养可能是方法之一但是人们总是不知道如何将其应用到其特殊的处境中，对于生活在现代富足社会的城镇和城市居民来说，《永久培养城市》展现了永久培养设计是如何应用于普罗大众的。”——大卫•霍姆格伦，永久培养概念的创立者之一
"Many people who are searching for a more fulfilling life, wanting to reduce their ecological footprint and build resilience for uncertain futures, grasp that permaculture might be part of the solution but are often unsure how it applies to their particular situation. For residents of towns and cities in the modern affluent world, The Permaculture City shows how permaculture design makes common sense."--David Holmgren, co-originator of the Permaculture concept
About the Author/作者介绍： 托比•海明威是第一位写作永久培养话题的北美作家，他的作品是《盖亚的花园：家庭园艺永久培养指南》。获得塔斯夫大学生物学学位后，托比在遗传学和免疫学领域从事了多年的研究员工作，先是在哈佛大学和华盛顿大学的学术实验室，后又在伊芒内克斯，一家领先的医学生物科技公司。托比之后厌倦了生物科技讨论的方向，转而发现了永久设计的发展前景。托比随后改变了自己的工作方向，同妻子花了十年的时间在南俄勒冈建立了一个乡村永久培养基地。托比还是《永久培养行动者》的副主编，1999年到2004年间担任生态设计和可持续文化的记者。他在全国范围内教授永久设计，并就生态设计话题提供咨询和授课。托比的论文曾出现在类似《全球评论》、《自然之家》、《家庭菜园》等杂志中。托比先居于加利福尼亚洲赛巴斯托波。更多详情请见：www.patternliteracy.com
Toby Hemenway is the author of the first major North American book on permaculture, Gaia’s Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture. After obtaining a degree in biology from Tufts University, Toby worked for many years as a researcher in genetics and immunology, first in academic laboratories at Harvard and the University of Washington in Seattle, and then at Immunex, a major medical biotech company. At about the time he was growing dissatisfied with the direction biotechnology was taking, he discovered permaculture, a design approach based on ecological principles that creates sustainable landscapes, homes, and workplaces. A career change followed, and Toby and his wife spent ten years creating a rural permaculture site in southern Oregon. He was associate editor of Permaculture Activist, a journal of ecological design and sustainable culture, from 1999 to 2004. He teaches permaculture and consults and lectures on ecological design throughout the country. His writing has appeared in magazines such as Whole Earth Review, Natural Home, and Kitchen Gardener. He is available for workshops, lectures, and consulting in ecological design.
He lives in Sebastopol, California.
