Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The movement toward sustainable landscaping is gaining momentum. Gardeners are planting more ecologically sound gardens that include both people and wildlife. These gardens are grounded in new concepts such as permaculture and ecological design, but they draw from traditional techniques and designs. #2 Permaculture designer Larry Santoyo of Earthflow Design Works integrated the greater watershed landscape into his urban Santa Barbara, California, garden. The garden was reoriented into terrace beds and pathways that flow along the contour lines to capture precious runoff in the arid climate. #3 Permaculture is a set of principles and practices that are used to design sustainable human settlements. It was invented by two Australians, Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, in the 1970s. #4 Permaculture is a design approach that connects different disciplines, strategies, and techniques. It is not a discipline in itself, but rather a set of principles based on connecting those disciplines. It aims to design ecologically sound, economically prosperous human communities.

Sample Book Insights: #1 I recently gave a speech at the Aspen Institute in which I argued that white guilt has damaged the self-esteem, if not the souls, of minorities more than white racism ever did. #2 I was used to being provocative, but my comments about race being rooted in classic Jeffersonian liberalism rather than white guilt was absolutely unpalatable to many. #3 I had the same reaction when I saw a young white man rush to the stage to confront me after my panel discussion on race and politics. He mimed his points with theatrical flair, and then looked at me as if to shudder at an unspeakable menace. #4 I had spoken at a conference in Aspen, and during my speech I had implied that post-1960s liberalism was the new enemy of minorities. The audience had largely agreed with me, but my young nemesis had come to represent me as an untouchable, someone from a dark realm of ideas who was both seductive and evil.
