1.    Many of the ideas discussed above originated in the garden city movement in the     early twentieth century. In the Indian context, city urban planning exercises carried out by Patrick Geddes in the 1920s give a good historic perspective. ’Patrick Geddes in India’. 2007, Select Books, 71, Brigade Road Cross, Bangalore 560 001. Price: Rs.250/-

2. Urban Garden: A good place to start would be to contact ‘The Horticulture Society’ in the city.
3. Solar Cooker: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cooker. This is a good starting point. The box solar cooker is probably the safest and cheapest.

7. On the net if you type out ’Post carbon cities’ ‘relocalisation’,  ‘solar box cookers’, ‘improved cycle rickshaw’ ‘urban gardens’,  ‘Cuba’ etc. you will get extensive reading material and information about these groups and resources.

General

This book is mainly meant for activist education. The best source for such material in India is the journal Frontier. Established in 1968 by late Samar Sen, it has educated a generation of activists who were moved by the crisis in the late 60s. Today in the 42^nd year of its publication, Timir Basu, the present editor, is ably carrying out the mission inspite of great hardships.
