Author Biography Looby Macnamara is author of People and Permaculture, the first book to explore the application of permaculture principles and design to all aspects of our lives. Looby has taught permaculture since 2002 and is a partner in a leading teaching and consultancy partnership, Designed Visions. She is renowned for her ability to enthuse people to engage with their natural environment and inspire them, individually and collectively, to bring about positive change, both for ourselves and for the Earth. Review Throughout this very readable book Looby encourages us to think about thinking ... and in doing so she poses a number of fundamental questions including, for example: How do you see the world?, What might influence how you think about this?, What are your beliefs and assumptions?, What are the patterns of thinking that recreate feelings, behaviours and learning?, How can you go deeper and think more critically to challenge these? and How can you reinterpret these stories? The Introduction covers how she developed the basis for the book and briefly lists the seven different ways (and her choice of symbols to illustrate each one). She provides explanations of Permaculture and The Work That Reconnects, Thinking about Thinking, Shifting our Thinking and concludes with Landscape of Thought which pulls all seven ways together into a single graphic image. The bulk of the book has seven chapters, each covering one of the seven ways, which are: abundance thinking, solutions thinking, systems thinking, thinking like nature, co-operative thinking, thinking for the future and from thinking to doing. Each one adds structure and depth to the unfolding story. The final pages are packed with further resources, listing books, websites and films as well as 46 references used throughout the text. There is also a very useful double page Ways of Thinking Summary with multiple examples and the relevant permaculture principles applying to each one. In her closing words Looby asks us to accept that this [book] is an invitation to embark on a beautiful journey of embracing, responding and discovering. I do, I am now using the book and strongly recommend it to you as one very effective tool for being and doing in a very different way.; Alan Charlton, Permaculture magazine Details ISBN1856231895 Year 2014 ISBN-10 1856231895 ISBN-13 9781856231893 Media Book Publisher Permanent Publications Imprint Permanent Publications Subtitle Embrace Potential, Respond to Life, Discover Abundance Country of Publication United Kingdom DEWEY 200 Short Title 7 WAYS TO THINK DIFFERENTLY Language English Illustrations b/w throughout, includes line drawings Format Paperback Audience General/Trade UK Release Date 2014-09-24 AU Release Date 2014-09-24 NZ Release Date 2014-09-24 Pages 128 Author Looby Macnamara Publication Date 2014-09-24 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
