Book Description from Amazon.com

When Technology Fails is the first to offer, under one cover, basic instructions and recommended resources 

for the wide range of skills and technologies necessary for self-reliant living and achieving mastery of all kinds 

of emergency conditions.

A user-friendly "bible" in the tradition of the Whole Earth Catalog, this book provides information that will help 

the average person become more self-reliant. In an era of super-storms, burgeoning population, massive 

earthquakes, global warming, and record-breaking floods and droughts, more and more people are seeking 

to prepare themselves to deal with the difficult times that may lie ahead.

When Technology Fails addresses this universal concern in one engaging and concise volume for the general 

reader. A directory of resources and an instructional guide to sustainable technologies, it outlines survival 

strategies for dealing with changes that affect food, water, shelter, energy, health, communications, and 

essential goods and services.

When Technology Fails provides something for everyone, from parents who want to help their families when 

a disaster strikes, to the go-it-alone survivalist, to the eco-minded person who wishes to tread more lightly on 

the earth -- whatever the future may hold.
