"The day my copy arrived of Alanna's book 'Sensitive Permaculture' I lounged under a tree to have a read. Well, even just the first page made me think and then question all I had done to date and many more Permies like me I have met worldwide doing the same.... In my Permaculture Design Course teaching I now include the other half of design thinking under the 4th Ethic, 'Care of Spirit' [and] I use this book now as part of day one to provide a balance between straight science over thinking and nature. I suggest you read this book with an open mind and heart and see what might happen for you. Thanks Alanna for changing the last ten years for me." - Peter Russell ('Pete the Permie'), 2020, Melbourne, Australia.
