The Survivors Club: The Secrets and Science that Could Save Your Life
Ben Sherwood

Grand Central Publishing, 2010

Paramedic thoughts...
I have read so many survival books and none compare to this one. Most others read like an instruction manual with a very short opening chapter on positive attitude. Survivor Club however takes more of a scientific approach to survival. All the quizzes and ...

Animals Make Us Human
Clear explanations regarding theory. Tremendous insight into the subject matter. A positive approach to the subject matter. It makes you think and you will find yourself exploring subject matter long after you've finished the book.
  
  











  



  
Zeitoun
Dave Eggers

McSweeney's, 2009

An essential classic
This book belongs on that short shelf of essential classics such as All Quiet on the Western Front and Cry, the Beloved Country. The great tragedy of Zeitoun is that he suffered for doing what all of would hope to do in similar circumstances--the best we can in times ...
  
  











  



  
Thinking in Pictures, Expanded Edition: My Life with Autism
Temple Grandin

Vintage, 2006

My review
Offers great insight into the world of autism, which is important to me since I have an 8-year old autistic son. Has definitely added value to the way the whole family relates with him.
  
  











  



  
Eating Animals
Jonathan Safran Foer

Little, Brown and Company, 2009

A thought-provoking, enjoyable, and important book
Disclaimer: I'm not a vegetarian (yet, but probably soon). I do enjoy meat. I'm certainly not an animal activist, and one recent post on my Facebook account (before reading the book) was "PETA= People Eating Tasty Animals". Having said that, my opinion is that if ...
  
  











  



  
The Whale: In Search of the Giants of the Sea
Philip Hoare

Ecco, 2010

A literary celebration of everything whale
This wide-ranging paean to the world's largest mammals had its origins in fear. As a boy, British biographer Hoare was terrified of water; his imagination reeling at the depths his eyes could not fathom. Nevertheless, in his mid-20s he determined to learn to swim. ...

How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It: Tactics, Techniques, and Technologies for Uncertain Times
James Wesley Rawles

Plume, 2009

Excellent Book
This book takes a very practical and "today" approach to "the end times solution". It addresses CURRENT issues right now and the steps you can take to better prepare. It is not an end all be all on the subject but it is certainly worth adding to the library. I'm glad I ...
  
  











  



  
Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen
Christopher McDougall

Knopf, 2009

Great story
I am not a "runner" by any sense, but what got me interested in this book was vibram fivefingers. I kind of thought when I got this book it would be a book about minimalist running. While that content is certainly in the story, it is more a story about the joy of ...
  
  











  



  
Emergency Food Storage & Survival Handbook: Everything You Need to Know to Keep Your Family Safe in a Crisis
Peggy Layton

Three Rivers Press, 2002

Very good book
This is a really good book that talks about the best ways to store food. There are lots of ways, but not all of them are easy, cheap, or practical. This book gives you all three.

National Parks by Ken Burns
This is one of the most beautiful books about our national parks. Not only are the pictures breathtaking, but the stories that go with them and talk about the history makes it personal and adds to every single picture. I bought this for a friend who is really into ...
