Harness the power of permaculture to thrive, not just survive, the great transition from fossil fuels

Caught between climate change and a fossil fuel-driven economy that demands ever more growth, the world faces a great transition--by design or disaster--away from fossil fuels to a less energy intensive future.

But what proven tools are available to aid in making a successful, deliberate transition to a resilient, sustainable future?

For the first time, the power of permaculture design has been brought to bear on the great transition problem. In the process, acclaimed permaculture teacher and designer Ross Mars has distilled his considerable knowledge into the ultimate resource for resilient living.

The Permaculture Transition Manual is packed with information on permaculture design principles, soil building, nutrient-dense food growing, including top plant and tree selections for all climatic zones. Coverage extends to rainwater harvesting and irrigation, human waste management, and strategies for rural properties plus a unique focus on applying permaculture to small urban spaces for decluttering and efficient food growing. Also covered are hand tools, food preservation, energy production, and low-carbon housing and a plethora of nearly forgotten skills such as soap making, basket weaving, seed saving, and rope and candle making, and more.

On the desert island of a world in decline this is the one-stop guide to vibrant, resilient living you'll want to take with you.

Ross Mars is a scientist with a PhD in Environmental Science, entrepreneur and highly-regarded permaculture teacher and designer. Author of The Basics of Permaculture Design , he manages Candlelight Farm, a permaculture demonstration site and training center in Western Australia.

These are way better than I expected and hold up to our aggressive chewer spectacularly!
I got these specifically for our newest pup (an 8 month old lab/pitbull mix--she's a big puppy, lol) who is obsessed with toys and chewing. She has a tendency to go through her toys quick, both chew toys and soft ones, so I wanted something that would last a bit longer for her because I can tell she gets a bit sad when we have to trash one that's hit its lifespan. So far, these have been a big hit! They're the perfect size for her to pick up, the chicken claw-style texture is great for both keeping her interested and giving her some grabbing options, and they do seem to hold up to their claim of being made for aggressive chewers! There's obviously some wear, but it looks like expected chew toy wear; no claws have snapped off, and her chew marks look relatively minimal compared to what she's done to other chews. I also appreciate that these came in a two pack; we have a smaller dog, and while these are technically big for him, he enjoys having one to play with and chew on as well. These have been a pleasant surprise and I actually think I'll come back to buy them again whenever they're spent! Definitely a worthy purchase!

Creepy chicken feet, made for big dogs and Frenchie approved
These chew toys have been a hit with our dogs. We have three French Bulldogs who firmly believe they are ferocious wolf-sized predators, and these toys have held up surprisingly well to their daily chewing sessions. The chicken foot shape keeps them interested, and the durable nylon construction has stood up to much more abuse than many other toys we've tried. The toys are easy for the dogs to grip and carry around, and I appreciate that they're simple to clean when they inevitably get covered in slobber. They've also helped keep the dogs occupied and redirected some of that endless Frenchie energy away from furniture and other household items. Overall, these have proven to be durable, entertaining chew toys that are Frenchie-approved. Although, based on the dramatic growling and victorious prancing around the house, you'd think they personally hunted and defeated a giant prehistoric chicken

Creepy Little Chicken Feet… But My Dog Is Obsessed
Creepy Little Chicken Feet… But My Dog Is Obsessed I am not even going to lie, when I first opened these WOWBALA dog toys, I had to pause for a second because why do they look like actual little chicken feet? 😂 They are definitely a little creepy at first glance, but apparently my dog does not share my human judgment because she went absolutely crazy over them. These come as a 2-pack, and they have a bacon scent that is very much not for me, but clearly made perfect sense to her. The second she got one, it became her new prized possession. She carried it around, chewed on it nonstop, and I am pretty sure she even tried to hide it somewhere in the backyard like she had discovered buried treasure. What impressed me most is how well these hold up. My dog is not gentle with toys at all. She chews like she has a full-time demolition job, and somehow these still look basically new from a normal glance. Up close, yes, you can see where she has been working on it, but it has not broken apart, shredded, or left those annoying little toy pieces all over the floor. If you have ever bought a chew toy that turns into confetti within 20 minutes, you already know why that matters. The nylon feels solid and heavy-duty, and I like that it is made with safe, non-toxic material since this is something she keeps in her mouth for long periods of time. It also keeps her busy, which is a huge win because bored dogs will find their own entertainment, and usually it is something expensive or inconvenient. So yes, the chicken feet design is a little weird. Yes, the bacon smell is definitely for the dog and not the humans. But my dog is obsessed, it keeps her entertained, and it survives her chewing like a champ. That makes this a solid win in my house.

aggressive chewer approved!
So far my German Shepherd–Husky mix is obsessed with these. He’s about 75 lbs and usually destroys nylon toys within a day, but these have held up really well. After several long chewing sessions, there are only minimal bite marks — enough to show he’s using it, but not so soft that pieces are coming off. That’s a good balance for him since some toys are way too hard and others are way too easy to shred. The chicken‑foot shape is actually perfect for him. The “fingers” or claws give him different angles to grip, and he switches between holding it with his paws and chewing the ends. The curved design makes it easy for him to pick up and reposition without getting frustrated. Material‑wise, the nylon feels solid and safe. No sharp edges, no flaking, and no weird smell beyond the light milky scent they mention. For a dog that chews aggressively when he’s bored or anxious, this has kept him busy without me worrying about pieces breaking off. Overall, great size, great durability, and a fun shape that keeps my big guy engaged. Definitely a win for heavy chewers.
