When Technology Fails

Matthew Stein

Clear Light Publishers, Santa Fe. 2000. First edition. Large format paperback; A few corner dings and slight soiling to the edges of the text, but quite clean. An excellent copy.

From the publisher:

"Matthew Stein’s comprehensive primer on sustainable living skills―from food and water to shelter and energy to first-aid and crisis-management skills―prepares you to embark on the path toward sustainability. But unlike any other book, Stein not only shows you how to live green in seemingly stable times, but to live in the face of potential disasters, lasting days or years, coming in the form of social upheaval, economic meltdown, or environmental catastrophe."

Sharing some DNA with the Whole Earth Catalog in size, content, and attitude, this is an aspirational but portentous book about the coming anarchy we are currently just starting to realize is not going anywhere. A perennially good resource. Recommended if you're serious about what's to come.
