"This book is an indispensable basic manual for the real-life issues that await us in the decades to come. Those who read it, and pay attention to its treasure trove of practical wisdom, will enjoy a huge advantage as the cheap oil fiesta winds down and circumstances compel us to live differently."
—James Howard Kunstler, author of The Long Emergency
Hurricane Katrina and 9/11 have made Americans far more aware of the
need to be prepared for the unexpected. Matthew Stein's comprehensive
guide to sustainable living skills gives you the tools you need to fend for yourself and your family in times of emergency or disaster. It also goes a step further, giving sound instructions on how to become self-reliant in seemingly stable times and for the long term by adopting a sustainable lifestyle.
Fully revised and expanded, When Technology Fails is truly encyclopedic, covering topics from food and shelter to medicine and metallurgy, and ends on a positive, proactive note with a new chapter on "Making the Shift to Sustainability," which offers practical suggestions for changing our world on personal, community, and global levels (from the back cover).
