After many years of feeding the fox the mink the grey crow and the magpie, months of hammering and sawing, I can saw with confidence that I have designed the perfect chicken ark now all I need is to sell them , if you are down Ballymaloe way you can see them in gardens at the cookery school.

Hello Madeline,

The article in question was written by a colleague from the Dutch website agf.nl and then translated into english, the figures were taken from research done by Ebay,

We now have three terms that require some comment: eNergy; eXergy; and eMergy.

Would anyone reading this be able to distinguish clearly between them for me?

Comment on An Economics Addition to ‘The Transition Handbook’ » Transition Culture by Brian Donovan

Brian Donovan — Sun, 31 May 2009 10:09:03 +0000

I have looked and looked at the link pointed to here and cannot locate a chapter on economics to add to my copy of the Transition Handbook.

I do see the link to the Dutch edition…but that simply allows me to downdload the chapters in Dutch. Would be fine, but I cannot read Dutch?

Am I missing something?
