Change Here Now: Permaculture Solutions for Personal and Community Transformation

This book presents over eighty proven solutions for building healthy communities using the “pattern language” framework developed by architect Christopher Alexander. Author Adam Brock draws from ecology, sociology, community economics, social justice, and indigenous practices to outline strategies for redesigning social and economic systems to mimic nature’s resilience and abundance.

This practical and visually compelling book offers actionable tools for building better communities. Sidebars and diagrams supplement the text, while case studies illustrate endeavors like starting a business, launching a social change project, or setting personal goals. Brock suggests engaging disempowered communities authentically and draws on eight years of research to demonstrate what makes communities work.
