The autobiography of Bill Mollison — the Tasmanian who co-developed permaculture in the 1970s alongside David Holmgren, and whose Permaculture: A Designers' Manual became one of the most influential environmental design books of the 20th century.
Travels in Dreams covers Mollison's life from his boyhood in Stanley on Tasmania's northwest coast through his years as a CSIRO researcher, his time at the University of Tasmania, and the development of permaculture as a practical design system for sustainable living.
At 863 pages it is an extended, discursive memoir — covering not just the permaculture movement but Mollison's broader life, thinking and travels.
Out of print and scarce. This is one of the few Mollison titles that does not circulate widely — his design manuals are easier to find than this autobiography.
