Back From The Brink & Beyond The Brink
Environmental Conservation Gardening & Horticulture Permaculture & Regenerative Agriculture Australian Biography & Memoir Sustainable Farming Land Management Climate Resilience
Back From The Brink is the book that turned Australian farmer Peter Andrews into a national phenomenon and gave the world the "Natural Sequence Farming" revolution. In this hugely influential bestseller, Andrews explains—with farmer-to-farmer clarity—how letting plants, water and microbes do the work can rebuild degraded land faster and more profitably than costly chemical inputs. Readers discover step-by-step how to read landscape, slow water flow, and create self-watering systems that drought-proof soil while boosting soil carbon, biodiversity and profit. Because the book is rooted in decades of first-hand trial and error on his own properties, the advice is practical, field-tested and immediately usable by backyard gardeners and broad-acre graziers alike.
Beyond The Brink, included in this bulk lot, continues the story, showing real-world results as farmers across Australia reclaim salt-ravaged paddocks, restore creeks and increase carrying capacity without expensive machinery or government grants. Together the two volumes are considered the definitive statement on reversing desertification in Australia’s erratic climate, offering a blueprint for restoring land anywhere water, soil and climate extremes threaten food security. The set's popularity means it is frequently adopted by Landcare groups, TAFE and university courses, and sustainability clubs as their go-to text for land restoration and climate resilience.
This affordable paperback duo is a clean, tight set—just a single dog-eared page—making it an excellent gift or study set for students and land managers. Owning both titles together provides a complete picture of Andrews’ holistic approach and success stories, and the bulk lot ensures you can gift a copy or keep a spare to lend. Investors, farmers, permaculturists and home gardeners looking to turn parched, compacted ground into thriving, water-holding soils will find Back From The Brink a practical and inspiring roadmap.
