> This book takes a positive, upbeat, and optimistic view of "the Great

> 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,

> emphasizing organic, flavorful and locally grown produce that readily
> substitute one for another -- this book is about having your catastrophe
