The Necessary Revolution: How Individuals and organizations are working together to create a Sustainable World. (TNR)
Value of TNR: The theme of TNR is that we must shift beyond being reactive in our solutions approach, merely seizing short term solutions, and move to deep thinking to really make a difference. I strongly agree. The book includes many stories of what organizations and individuals are doing to try to be more proactive. The "Take, Make, Waste" mode of the last 60 years is no longer viable and some folks are digging deeper in their thinking and getting beyond symptom solutions. It is the right message but with insufficient thinking on the part of the authors on what it would really take to accomplish that deep thinking. They ... Read More:

.Pure Sea Glass: Discovering Nature's Vanishing Gems
City Travel Guides > Books > Outdoors and Nature
by: Richard LaMotte, Sally Lamotte Crane

June 30, 2004
I have recently became interested in sea glass after finding a few beautiful peices when I ordered this book. I was not dissappointed! This book is very informational and beautifully illustrated. I found a match for a peice I had found in the book, allowing me to date the peice.

I love this book and will keep in on my coffee table along with my display of my precious finds! It's a joy just to flip through and just look at the pictures.

.Pilgrim at Tinker Creek (Harper Perrennial Modern Classics)
City Travel Guides > Books > Outdoors and Nature
by: Annie Dillard

June 12, 2007
I found this book boring...I KNOW it was a Pulitzer prize winner. But, to
me, oh, so boring...

Annie Dillard is an excellent writer of course, and I loved her little
book, The Writing Life.

Great book. As an amateur rock hound, this book gives me lots of pretty pictures to look at. I have most of DK's books in every subject that interests me. They're all a home run in my book. I love this publisher.

Once you get used to the format of the Audubon Field Guides, they are very easy to use. Like all the Audubon series, this guide is compact, well-written, precise, comprehensive, informative, brilliant color plates, tough outer cover - what's not to like? Highly recommended.

.Changes in the Land, Revised Edition: Indians, Colonists, and the Ecology of New England
City Travel Guides > Books > Outdoors and Nature
by: William Cronon

September 01, 2003
William Cronon's book Changes in the Land illuminates the relationship and impact the European colonial settlers had with their environment in New England. The main premise for this book is that different human cultures interact with their environment according to their cultural norms and subsequently have varying effects upon their surrounding environment as a result. Furthermore, Cronon illustrates that these effects created by humans on the environment have consequences which in turn affect the human population and its society. Ultimately he accomplishes the task of showing historically that Americans have the live it up now and pay for it later approach with the environment they live in and unfortunately most Americans still have not learned from previous mistakes ...

.US Army Survival Manual: FM 21-76
City Travel Guides > Books > Outdoors and Nature
by: Department of Defense

1970-10
Survival is a skill, and one you need to work on, you can have all the books in the world but unless your actually go out and try these things it's nothing but a collection of paper.

that being said this is an excellent source of information that you can use to attempt trapping food (Please check that it's legal in your area and remember where you placed all your traps as well as make sure you take them down after you have proven they work.) making camps and fire, cooking and eating and so forth.

hopefully you will never NEED This book, but if you do i hope you made the right choice and bought it.
