Summary:
Social entrepreneur and permaculturalist Adam Brock draws from ecology, sociology,
community
economics, social justice, and indigenous practices the world over to present more than eighty proven
solutions
for building healthy communities. Using the "pattern language" framework developed by architect Christopher Alexander and his colleagues in the 1970s, Brock outlines strategies for redesigning our social and economic systems to mimic nature's resilience and abundance. Easy-to-understand tools for a compassionate and methodical approach to building better communities. Sidebars and diagrams supplement the text, while case studies illustrate endeavors such as starting a business, launching a social
change
project, or setting
personal
goals. Brock suggests ways to engage disempowered communities in a meaningful and authentic way, and draws on eight years of in-depth research and investigation to demonstrate what makes communities work at the most fundamental level. Anyone looking for concrete
solutions
to many of the social and economic ills that plague our current society will discover a rich resource for growth and
change
. Adam Brock's work lies at the intersection of urban agriculture, sustainable business, and social
change
. He is active in the local and national
permaculture
communities, serving on the board of the Denver
Permaculture
Guild.
