0143036556 ~Good. No DJ, as issued. Trade Paperback. Light to moderate shelf wear to covers/corners; satisfaction guaranteed. In his runaway bestseller Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond brilliantly examined the circumstances that allowed Western civilizations to dominate much of the world. Now he probes the other side of the equation: What caused some of the great civilizations of the past to fall into ruin, and what can we learn from their fates? Using a vast historical and geographical perspective ranging from Easter Island and the Maya to Viking Greenland and modern Montana, Diamond traces a fundamental pattern of environmental catastrophe?one whose warning signs can be seen in our modern world and that we ignore at our peril. Blending the most recent scientific advances into a narrative that is impossible to put down, Collapse exposes the deepest mysteries of the past even as it offers hope for the future.

Dare to Prepare, 4th Edition, 2011; Holly Drennon Deyo Deyo Enterprises, LLC 0972768890 / 9780972768894 PERFECT PAPERBACK
New
0972768890 Book is oversized and/or heavy, priority or international orders will require additional shipping funds. DARE TO PREPARE 4th Edition is in huge demand due to current terrorist threats, economic uncertainty and increasing natural disasters. Written by Holly Drennan Deyo with an introduction by Stan Deyo, this magnificent work is THE ultimate city-suburban-rural emergency preparedness reference book. Dare To Prepare is now 632 pages in 8-1/2" by 11" format paperback - about the size of a telephone book. Over 330 photographs and illustrations, plus many charts and tables, make personalized preparedness super simple. WHY DARE TO PREPARE ? A dozen years ago, I had a hard time convincing family and friends (though not Stan) we were experiencing disasters more frequently and with increased severity. From decades of reading many books on Earth changes, the material became pretty convincing we would be on a path of change. That time of change has arrived, but concrete evidence was needed - information we could refer to reliably and show the disbelieving why we need to prepare. Now terrorism is added to the mix. If you are having trouble convincing family members, spouses and friends of the need for having supplies on hand, Dare To Prepare is an invaluable aid. 67 chapters are dedicated to step-by-step preparation in simple English, much of which you will find nowhere else, as well as personal anecdotes. Dare To Prepare is not just a compilation of lists; it is the blueprint for how Holly and Stan Deyo organize their home. All the information you need to store provisions long and short-term is included besides detailed instructions of long-forgotten skills that's fun for the entire family. Lot of options are given to make your planning as flexible and personalized as possible. Dare To Prepare empowers you to store confidently for as little or as long as you like using both metric and US measurements throughout.

Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life; Strauss, Neil It Books 2009 0060898771 / 9780060898779 PAPERBACK
New
0060898771 New. No dust jacket as issued. Brand New! Support Radical Independent Pacific Northwest Booksellers! Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 418 p. Contains: Illustrations. Audience: General/trade. Terrorist attacks. Natural disasters. Domestic crackdowns. Economic collapse. Riots. Wars. Disease. Starvation. What can you do when it all hits the fan? You can learn to be self-sufficient and survive without the system. **I've started to look at the world through apocalypse eyes. ** So begins Neil Strauss's harrowing new book: his first full-length worksince the international bestseller Game, and one of the most original-and provocative-narratives of the year. After the last few years of violence and terror, of ethnic and religious hatred, of tsunamis and hurricanes and now of world financial meltdown Strauss, like most of his generation, came to the sobering realization that, even in America, anything can happen. But rather than watch helplessly, he decided to do something about it. And so he spent three years traveling through a country that's lost its sense of safety, equipping himself with the tools necessary to save himself and his loved ones from an uncertain future. With the same quick wit and eye for cultural trends that marked Game, Dirt, and How to Make Love Like a Porn Star, Emergency traces Neil's white-knuckled journey through today's heart of darkness, as he sets out to move his life offshore, test his skills in the wild, and remake himself as a gun-toting, plane-flying, government-defying survivor. It's a tale of paranoid fantasies and crippling doubts, of shady lawyers and dangerous cult leaders, of billionaire gun nuts and survivalist superheroes, of weirdos, heroes, and ordinary citizens going off the grid. It's one man's story of a dangerous world and how to stay alive in it. Before the next disaster strikes, you're going to want to read this book. And you'll want to do everything it suggests. Because tomorrow doesn't come with a guarantee..

Handbook to Practical Disaster Preparedness for the Family, 2nd Edition; Arthur T. Bradley CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform 1463531109 / 9781463531102 PAPERBACK
New
1463531109 Right out of the gate let me tell you what the book is NOT. It is not a book about fighting off hordes of flesh-eating zombies, should they ever rise from the grave. Nor will it describe how to survive a shipwreck by feasting on coconuts and roasted iguana. Finally, it is not intended to help you survive our planet being sucked into the cosmic fireball affectionately known as our Sun. If you wish to prepare for those types of events, I respectfully suggest that you continue your search for a more suitable text. This book IS designed to help your family prepare for more commonplace, yet still equally deadly disasters. The list is long and varied, and includes hurricanes, tornados, terrorist attacks, earthquakes, pandemics, financial collapse, floods, widespread blackouts, food shortages, airborne contamination, radiation exposure, and much more. The 430-page, 8? x 10? handbook is clear and easy to read with more than a hundred photos, illustrations, and worksheets. What makes this book different is that it focuses on practical steps that you and your family can take to become better prepared. At the end of your efforts, you will be rewarded with knowing that your family is far better prepared to handle real world challenges.

In How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It, James Rawles, founder of SurvivalBlog, clearly explains everything you need to know to protect yourself and your family in the event of a disaster-from radical currency devaluation to a nuclear threat to a hurricane. Rawles shares essential tactics and techniques for surviving completely on your own, including how much food is enough, how to filter rainwater, how to protect your money, which seeds to buy for your garden, why goats are a smart choice for livestock, and how to secure your home. It's the ultimate guide to total preparedness and self-reliance in a time of need.

New
094248701X New. No dust jacket as issued. Brand New! Support Radical Independent Pacific Northwest Booksellers! Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 282 p. There are a number of do-it-yourself guides to civil defense available, but most seem to be aimed at hard-core survivalists who have crack outdoor skills, and lots of specialized equipment. This book is very different and is written for the average citizen by a former U.S. Army officer, field geologist and civil engineer who built and field-tested the "expedient" shelters described within while still employed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. These shelters can be put togeather within a few hours by ordinary, untrained men and women. (It is a good idea to take a weekend and practice building them. ) They provide good protection during the weeks it may take for fallout to decay to negligible levels of radioactivity. (Expedient blast shelters, which also protect against the shockwave from a nearby explosion, are also discussed. ) author is clear and thorough throughout, supplying checklists for supplies, equipment and materials; detailed building instructions and descriptions of the genuine (as opposed to fanciful) effects of nuclear weapons. There is also a valuable discussion of the purchase and use of potassium iodide compounds for protection of the thyroid gland from absorption of radioiodine. Finally, detailed plans and instructions are provided for the construction and use of a homemade fallout meter(! ) to indicate radiation levels. (It is a lot more accurate than many of the over-priced, defective-or-uncalibrated war-surplus "Geiger counters" on the market! ) 2001 edition contains a new chapter on the hazards of trans-Pacific fallout, which could drift eastward to the U.S. mainland from a nuclear conflict in Asia. (Such as India vs. Pakistan, or a North Korean nuclear attack on the South or Japan. ) There is also a new appendix detailing the persuasive medical and scientific evidence that low levels of ionizing radiation below a certain threshold do no harm to humans or other forms of life, or their descendants.

Roadmap to Reality: Consciousness, Worldviews, and the Blossoming of Human Spirit; Elpel, Thomas J. HOPS Press 1892784297 / 9781892784292 PAPERBACK
New
1892784297 What if our entire experience of reality were based on an assumption that could be proven false? In Roadmap to Reality, Thomas J. Elpel tests the assumption that we are a sentient (self-aware) species, and finds evidence suggesting otherwise. Like automatons, we copy beliefs and behaviors from generation to generation without consciously evaluating why we do what we do. We absorb a definition of reality and act on it, without ever questioning the source of that definition. In short, we don't act; we react. Roadmap to Reality is the quest to unravel the illusions to discover what reality really is. The journey follows the link between technology and thought, showing how hunter-gatherer, agricultural, industrial, and informational societies define reality in predictable ways. In essence, production technology dictates how we perceive cause and effect, how we solve problems, and how we approach parenting and governing. Roadmap to Reality sequentially follows simple ideas and commonsense logic to reveal how consciousness and worldviews evolve in layers over time. Roadmap to Reality enables the reader to step outside of ordinary reality to obtain a fresh perspective on culture, government, prosperity, sustainability, and meaning. The quest takes the reader to the ends of the universe with a casual writing style, peeling back the layers of consciousness to discover the reality beyond. Roadmap to Reality will change your perspective of history and world events, and it will change you, enabling you to let go of preconceived notions about the nature of reality to discover a more holistic, more satisfying life experience. ISBN: 978-1-892784-29-2. May 2008. 260 Pages. Lavishly illustrated by Bonnie Andrich. Printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper. Cost: $30.

Strategic Relocation--North American Guide to Safe Places, 3rd Edition; Joel M. Skousen; Andrew Skousen Joel Skousen Designs 1568612621 / 9781568612621 PERFECT PAPERBACK
New
1568612621 This is the long-awaited update of Mr. Skousen's classic book on relocation for security. Nearly 3/4 of this 3rd Edition is rewritten and it is expanded to 400 pages. In the process, the authors created all new graphics, charts and tables. There is also a new section on international retreat potential and 200 additional pages of analysis on every state and province of the US and Candada, complete with color maps. The maps are chock full of detail, including private and public land use, satellite terrain features, military target areas, roads and graphic depictions of population density---one of our major threats to security in a crisis. Despite the ongoing illusions of peace and prosperity, our world is getting less stable, not more. The economic foundations of the US and the world are all based on fiat money and are crumbling. Earthquakes, Hurricanes, War and terrorism are ever present threats, and the secondary effects of social unrest in large metropolitan areas will be disruptive and dangerous if there is a shortage of essential commodities that cause people to panic. When you relocate or retire your prime concern should be long-term security, not recreation. Sometimes you can have both. This book is designed to help you relocate around serious threats and to develop contingency plans when you can't relocate due to work or family ties. Strategic Relocation is more than just pointing out safe areas--simply because the safer the area, the harder it is, generally, to make a living and have access to the conveniences of life. For these reasons, relocation decisions are fairly complex, and Mr. Skousen walks you through all of the difficult choices and compromises that are inevitable in finding safety, without being totally isolated. This book has answers for nearly every situation. About the Author: Joel Skousen has served as a relocation consultant for over 30 years designing high security residences and retreats. He is the chief designer at the Secure Home Design Group and author of The Secure Home. He has traveled widely and speaks multiple foreign languages and also publishes the World Affairs Brief, a weekly news analysis service. Andrew Skousen, co-author, is a practicing structural engineer who regularly consults and designs for The Secure Home Design Group. Andrew contributed most of the new research, graphics, tables and much of the content.

Using straightforward rules, security checklists, photographs and drawings, he teaches you how to prepare a route analysis, including marking maps and identifying choke points and safe havens; recognize likely attack sites for IEDs, rammings, drive-by shootings and overrun attacks; reinforce and maintain your vehicles to withstand attack by selecting the proper armoring, engine, tires, alarms, windows, locks and more; spot surveillance whether it's fixed or mobile; master the driving basics of steering, braking and accelerating, as well as advanced evasive maneuvers such as forward and reverse 180-degree turns and barricade breaching; and scrutinize military or police personnel at roadblocks or accident scenes to tell whether they are real or fake. Whether you are an enlisted man or reservist about to be deployed, a security contractor or businessman stationed overseas or just a daily commuter who travels on some dangerous roads, you owe it to yourself to take this crash course in survival driving. Robert Deatherage, Jr. served in the U.S. Army Special Forces in some of the world's most dangerous areas, where he was responsible for the security of GIs and their equipment. Most recently, he was the security manager for an international contractor in various regions of Iraq. He has attended the most prestigious driving courses in the world, including those conducted for Special Forces, FBI and United Nations personnel.

Surviving a Massacre, Rampage or Spree Killing; Cohen, Arthur Paladin Press 2010 1581607253 / 9781581607253 PAPERBACK
New
1581607253 New. No dust jacket as issued. Brand New! Support Pacific Northwest Independent Booksellers! 178 p. Ft. Hood, Virginia Tech, Main Street, USA. Hardly a week goes by without another deadly rampage somewhere. We'd like to think it's impossible that the familiar places we visit every day "comfort zones" such as our mall, church, school, or office could suddenly become twisted into the scene of the latest tragedy. But this alarming epidemic crosses every border and affects everyone. Most people either deny the problem or think that nothing can be done to prevent or survive such an attack. Arthur Cohen, an educator for 33 years who has worked closely with various law enforcement agencies on safety issues, knows better. In Surviving a Massacre, Rampage, or Spree Killing, he analyzes past incidents to define who these killers are and what we can expect from them in the future, and then shows you how to formulate a plan of action for surviving one of these terrifying situations. He focuses on what the average person can do to stay alive in the first deadly minutes, because most incidents end in a matter of minutes, usually before the police arrive, putting the burden of survival squarely on the shoulders of those caught in the rampage. Cohen provides practical tactics and strategies many derived from what did or didn't work in real-life attacks to give you the best chance of surviving a spree, rampage, or mass killing, wherever the location. This thoughtful, well-reasoned book goes beyond the hype to provide real answers to a very difficult problem. Arthur Cohen is a nationally and internationally known author and personal safety expert. He taught junior and senior high science for 33 years before designing and teaching courses in school safety at several universities.

1581604297 ORDER FROM A SMALL INDEPENDENT SELLER, NOT HUGE, SPRAWLING CORPORATIONS! New. No dust jacket as issued. Brand New! Support Independent Pacific Northwest Booksellers! Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 71 p. Contains: Illustrations. Audience: General/trade. tragic events of September 11, 2001, vividly demonstrated that America is no longer immune to terrorist attack. A little research into the subject of likely terrorist weapons convinced the author, Fred Lane, that Americans were most vulnerable to the threat of nuclear, biological or chemical (NBC) warfare. Knowing that the American public was essentially uneducated about how to survive such an attack, Lane has prepared a user-friendly guide for the average citizen that explains what to do before, during and after an NBC strike. Written in simple, easily understood language, this book covers personal protection equipment, decontamination agents and procedures, emergency ready kits, emergency medicines, air filtration systems, emergency shelters and sealed rooms and home preparedness supplies. But knowing what you need isn't enough, so Lane includes a list of suppliers to help you locate reliable and affordable supplies and equipment. This book eliminates the need for extensive research and condenses volumes of material into a no-frills text that will provide you and your loved ones with the skills and knowledge needed to survive a terrorist attack. Fred Lane served in the U.S. Navy from 1963 1970, specializing in damage control and NBC warfare aboard the world's first nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser, the USS Long Beach (CGN-9) and saw duty in the South China Sea during the Vietnam War. He is retired from the Department of Defense with experience in four disciplines: explosive, marine, transportation and industrial safety.

Texas s unattended petrochemical complexes might ignite, scattering hydrogen cyanide to the winds a "mini chemical nuclear winter. " After thousands of years, the Chunnel, rubber tires, and more than a billion tons of plastic might remain, but eventually a polymer-eating microbe could evolve, and, with the spectacular return of fish and bird populations, the earth might revert to Eden.
