Avis sur le produitWhen Technology Fails : A Manual for Self-Reliance, Sustainability, and Surviving the Long Emergency, 2nd Edition by Matthew Stein (2008, Trade Paperback, Revised edition)

Wonderful Resource for Do-It-Yourselfers!

I ran into this book in the library. It had been misplaced on the shelf and was in with a bunch of dogtraining books. I picked it up, leafed through it, and checked it out. It's very readable, full of diagrams, charts, gadjets, etc. Covers tons of topics, in detail, telling you and illustrating how to make or do it: building green homes, energy and electricity, metal casting, using fibers to make clothes, making various glues, building a make-shift shelter, making and firing primitive pottery, emergency first aid and home medicines, cures for toenail fungus, eating right, gardening... on and on. I loved it sooo much, I went and hunted for it online, found a revised edition, and bought it immediately. (Incidentally, I used the recipe for the anti-fungal medicine, and it fixed my toenail right up within a month!) Awesome! I'm tempted to buy several copies for friends who would love it too, for the holidays. It's about how to live, how to survive, and it's a fantastic book! I think everyone should have a copy of it.Lire l'avis complet...

A manual for self-reliance

Amazing amount of information which no one was ever learned. If your first reaction to a survival/medical question is to ask you smartphone YOU NEED THIS BOOK.

When Technology Fails

There's a lot of great information in this book.

When Technology Fails

I'd heard about this book, and then heard an interview with the author on the radio, and decided I had to have it. What a wonderfully complete book for those concerned about being self sufficient in a time when the future seems to be more and more uncertain. I have only begun to get into all the info in this book, but have yet to find any important subject matter that's missing. Will recommend to everyone I know who is of the same opinion, that we may soon need to be able to do many, many things that we now rely on others to do for us.Lire l'avis complet...

Well, I won the auction, paid for it, but never got the book.
I'll review when it arrives! Heard the guy on the radio and really liked what he was saying. Figured there was much to what he was saying and had to learn more. Eventually all ourtechnoligy WILL fail. Then what? Makes a person think. TOo bad the book never arrived. Guess I'll hgave to win another one?Lire l'avis complet...
