Hemingway takes the guesswork out of permaculture design. The bibliography is priceless.
It's not just for large yards or acreage. I hope to gift it to my niece or nephew. Has great tables of plants for each application.

However i think you would be hard pressed to convince traditionalminded people that their yard needs to become a forest garden whether it be the trees or the eventuality of only perennial foods
