This is the [b:Mother Earth News Almanac|166214|Mother Earth News Almanac|Mother Earth News|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg|160500] 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. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Over the coming years we will need to move from a global culture addicted to cheap, abundant petroleum to a culture of compelled conservation, whether through government directive or market forces. The Post-Petroleum Survival Guide and Cookbook provides useful practical advice for preparing your family and community to make the transition. This book takes a positive, upbeat, and optimistic view of "the Great Change," promoting the idea that it can be an opportunity to redeem our essential interconnectedness with nature and with each other. The many rifts that have grown up since oil became the world's prime commodity can be mended: between cities and their food sources; the design of the suburban built environment and its car-oriented sprawl; runaway greenhouse warming, clearing of forests and toxification of rivers, oceans, and land. Topics covered include: Rebuilding civilization Changing your needs Water and waste disposal Energy and transportation Equipment and Tools Food storage and First Aid Also including light-hearted, playful recipes-some using basic, wholesome foods, some illustrating food growing or preservation, and all emphasizing organic, flavorful and locally grown produce that readily substitute one for another-this book is about having your catastrophe and eating it too.

This book does not have the kind of information you would need if we were truly "post-petroleum". It is much too optimistic in some ways. It's more of a hippie, living off the grid, decrease your carbon footprint, sort of book. This book doesn't even have enough information to help you if you were living in a third world country. It assumes you have access to all of the modern first world conveniences. ( )
