Awesome book! I will have to pick that one up too.

I had never heard of these raised islands for growing food, that's suler intresting... I'll checknyour post on the subject later too.

And the terra preta!

an elegant combination of re-using the wastes of their culture to increase the nutrients of the soil in order to grow food.

Something we can certainly learn from for sure. We need lessons in that part of life... seems to be on it's way back a little.

Thanks for sharing this
