The last one seems a bit too fearful for me -- I don't think Armageddon is in our near future -- but the others sound interesting.
Not sure if I'll pick them up but I'd be interested in hearing what other folks have to say about these books!

If you're just getting into permaculture, I'd recommend Toby Hemenway's "Gaia's Garden" over Jacke's books. It's much more easily accessible, and focuses more precisely on urban-scale design. This isn't to disparage Jacke's books; Edible Forest Gardens I & II are the ultimate temperate design texts to date - I would even suggest them over Mollison's design manual. They are, however, a huge commitment in time. I'd rather people pick up a shorter, more readable book and get the concepts than pick up a giant two volume set and give up twenty pages in.
