The Savoury books are good and Andrews has a lot of interesting ideas to play with:) I can also recommend reading Bill Gammage's : "The Biggest estate on Earth". While it is not a farming practise's book as such, it is an interesting writings of the fire management of Australia pre settelement . It tends to blow the greenies ideas of "virgin forest" away! :D
