I just had to return Carol Deppe's book The Resilient Gardener to the library, and put it on hold again because I didn't have time to finish it. But it's a good one! In the meantime I have some quick notes from chapter 2 regarding her stated "33 Golden Rules", which can be found in complete list form here. Personally I think some of them are redundant but I understand why she repeats certain principles for dramatic affect. The first three and last three are the best.
1. All gardening is local
2. Plant things that grow where you live
3. Variety, variety, variety
31. Slow down
32. Notice everything
33. Save, cherish and distribute seeds of the varieties you care most for
So how am I doing? I really need to... relax and pay attention.
