I was baffled that he named the book as heroically as h This book was terrible! I was baffled that he named the book as heroically as he did. Mar 16, Dustin rated it did not like it Shelves: did-not-finish , post-apoc.
For a cookbook that's supposed to be useful after mass global transportation is a thing of the past there sure are a lot of regional ingredients. As for the non-cookbook bulk of the text the author lost me in the first 15 or so pages when they started piling up unsubstantiated claims like locally sourced fertilizer.

Apr 19, Melody rated it it was amazing. This is the Mother Earth News Almanac for the current generation. Full of lots of solid concrete advice that works no matter what happens in the coming years. There are many yummy and practical recipes as well, discounting the grasshoppers. Though I won't turn my nose up at grasshoppers if it's all we've got. A lot of the stuff laid out here is what I'm already doing. Gardening, making community, walking, composting, consuming little in the way of manufactured goods at retail.
I'm not a stockpiler or a survivalist, but after reading this book, I may just lay in a case of balsamic vinegar and a couple jars of ascorbic acid. Recommended, even if you deny that anything catastrophic could possibly bring about the end of society as you know it in this best of all possible worlds.

Energy prices will rise remorselessly. Inflation will become endemic. Resource conflicts will break out. Colin Campbell, March Call toll free from USA and Canada ext orders newsociety. We are in a defining phase of human evolution. Fail, and we relegate life on the planet to fungi deep in caves and bacteria on the ocean floor, if that.
The current mix of challenges before us include:. The Energy Crisis: we have exhausted a supply of fossil sunlight hundreds of millions of years in the making. That savings account is half gone and what's left may be too valuable to burn.
Now we have to learn to budget our energy expenses from our daily solar income. The Resource Crisis: Malthus was nearly right, but didn't foresee technological advances.
Limits to Growth was spot on! We have exceeded the carrying capacity of the planet for this many humans consuming this much of everything. We have to tear up the credit cards and live within our budget. We have to make space for all the other species and the web of nature that supports the whole ballgame. The Climate Crisis: The budget is now parts per million of carbon equivalent in the atmosphere. We are already committed north of , which means we need to sequester more than we emit, immediately, or 6 degrees, 12 degrees, and 18 degrees warmer are all theoretically possible.
None of those is survivable by homo sapiens, even deep underground. Ourselves: We are not biologically or culturally prepared for the new rules.
