Product Description
When Technology Fails is the first to offer, under one cover, basic instructions and recommended resources for the wide range of skills and technologies necessary for self-reliant living and achieving mastery of all kinds of emergency conditions.
A user-friendly "bible" in the tradition of the Whole Earth Catalog, this book provides information that will help the average person become more self-reliant. In an era of super-storms, burgeoning population, massive earth-quakes, global warming, and record-breaking floods and droughts, more and more people are seeking to prepare themselves to deal with the difficult times that may lie ahead.
When Technology Fails addresses this universal concern in one engaging and concise volume for the general reader. A directory of resources and an instructional guide to sustainable technologies, it outlines survival strategies for dealing with changes that affect food, water, shelter, energy, health, communications, and essential goods and services.
When Technology Fails provides something for everyone, from parents who want to help their families when a disaster strikes, to the go-it-alone survivalist, to the eco-minded person who wishes to tread more lightly on the earth - whatever the future may hold.

 Another good survivalist related book to own December 12, 2008
Like the title says, I only gave it 4 stars because I have not read through it. More or less it covers a variety of topics and so far very good. I figured it would be another good book to add to my library "When technology does fail". Basically most of the skills and techniques that are in it you can look up on the internet, but for me and probably others it's just nice to have all that knowledge gathered into this book. Not saying EVERYTHING is covered in this one book but, I would say it's a good starting point.
Easy to read resource December 12, 2008
This book was used as a supporting document for a research paper. I found it easy to read and very comprehensive. I will use this book however as a resources for years for fun activities to do with kids like basket making and gardening or wilderness survival techniques as well. Good read for such a large "manual".
Very Good book to have around November 2, 2008
Very good book. To the point information. For those people that are living day to day. This is a must! For you that have a panic when the lights go out or the tap stops running. What to do when the unexpected drops upon you and your loved ones? I can only hope you have a chance to have read this book.
