Looks like a great read!
Your post also reminded me of something I am guilty of...not making the time to go back to the "Journey to Forever" website.
I can remember vividly when I first stumbled upon the JTF site. It was the first site that I personally had found, that gave real, tangible options to the status quo. As such, it has had a beneficial, and lasting impact on me. I read, studied, re-read, tried, failed, read again, tried again, succeeded, tried again, failed again, tried again, failed again, etc.. I guess, for those of us who lean more to the dense end of the scale, primarily me, it took quite some time to figure out what it was that I wasn't doing.
When I did go check out the JTF site I was surprised, although I know I shouldn't have been, by all the "new" additions since I had been there last.

Hello all
I've just uploaded this book to our Small Farms Library at Journey to
Forever. IMHO it's the best place to start if you're interested in
organic growing... And if not why not? No use claiming your biofuel
is clean green stuff and carbon-neutral too if it comes from an
industrialised monocrop with heavy fossil-fuel inputs.
"The Earth's Green Carpet" by Louise E. Howard, Faber and Faber, 1947
In this unusually clear book, Lady Howard (Sir Albert Howard's wife),
has written a "layman's introduction" which is also a work of
literary distinction. Her subject is nothing less than the life cycle
studied as a whole, and this leads inevitably to the importance of a
reformed agriculture for the health of the community. She saw the
need for a popular introduction to her husband's revolutionary ideas
and principles, and her book draws a vivid picture of what lies
behind the appearance of the Earth's green carpet. "Nature is not
concerned to give us simple lessons," Lady Howard says -- and yet she
transmits them here with admirable simplicity and clarity, a delight
to read. More than an introduction, the book is a survey of the whole
body of work of the pioneers of organic farming and growing. Full
text online.

We should never forget that everything
Adolf Hitler did in Germany was "legal" and
everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did
in Hungary was "illegal."
