Quoting Geoff Lawton from Podcast #280 on paying attention to every word in the Permaculture Design Manual:

"I think about every single word in that manual like your listeners are doing...I even analyze it with my students: why he {Mollison} called it a manual." He goes on to describe it "like a car manual."

So why did Bill call it a manual?

Manual

noun
1.
a book of instructions, esp. for operating a machine or learning a subject; a handbook.

synonyms: handbook, instructions, guide, how-to book, primer, guidebook

I believe its just the proper term for the book of papers he assembled.

He who sweats most in times of peace,
bleeds least in times of war.

I've never won anything before. Not even a tiny ad:
