SAS Survival Guide Handbook (Collins Gem)
John 'lofty' Wiseman

Collins, 2006

A Great Wilderness Survival Overview
I think the reader of the SAS Survival Guide would also benefit from a survival guide that focused exclusively on the readers own region. But the SAS guide presents a very fine overview of survival in just about any region and circumstance. It is a must have for any ...
  
  











  



  
SAS Survival Handbook: How to Survive in the Wild, in Any Climate, on Land or at Sea
John Lofty Wiseman

Collins, 2004

"Comprehensive" doesn't begin to describe this book
If you ever wanted to know ANYTHING about survival in the wilderness, it's in here. There's so much info in here, though, you might have to spend a few minutes finding it. One of the definitive books in the field.
  
  











  



  
Seed to Seed: Seed Saving and Growing Techniques for Vegetable Gardeners
Suzanne Ashworth, Kent Whealy

Seed Savers Exchange, 2002

Seed to Seed
This is perhaps the best book on the subject of raising heirloom plants and then harvesting the seed. It explains in detail procedures for timing, protecting from undesirable cross pollination, and harvesting seed. I would recommend to the author that at the end of ...

Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why
Laurence Gonzales

W. W. Norton & Company, 2004

Lessons for Management
While writing a human resources / management book, I realized that many of my references did not come from the world of business but rather from diverse subject matters. Nothing in my large stack of reference material was more useful than Laurence Gonzales's book on ...
  
  











  



  
Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse: A Novel of the Turbulent Near Future (Expanded and Updated 33 ...
James Wesley Rawles

Xlibris Corporation, 2006

Best earth-unplugged book ever!
What can I say? The price is right and the book is a total gem. Okay, it's not Jane Austen or Victor Hugo; it's never going to be featured in an academic anthology of high literature. But it's long enough to show the shape of the author's scenario, develop the ...

The Garden Primer: Second Edition
Barbara Damrosch

Workman Publishing Company, 2008

Even better than the first edition
I have long been a fan of the first edition and was pleased to hear the author on the radio recently. The second edition is newly updated and includes many details for organic gardeners which I enjoy. It is comprehensive in nature and well organized. It is the ...
  
  











  



  
Ball Blue Book of Preserving

Alltrista Consumer Products, 2004

Great book, buy it elsewhere!
Amazon itself had a decent price for this book originally. Now they can't get it and want you to buy it from one of their partners for 21 bucks. You can get this book on multiple other websites in the seven dollar range, which includes shipping and handling.

I'll always remember the movie Stand By Me. An emotional journey touching on memories as well as food for thought about where we're headed. Reading John Ross', Unintended Consequences was the same type experience for me. Although I'm not a strong reader, I could ...
