Customer Review: Like the title says, I only gave it 4 stars because I have not read through it. More or less it covers a variety of topics and so far very good. I figured it would be another good book to add to my library "When technology does fail". Basically most of the skills and techniques that are in it you... more info
Customer Review: I am not sorry I bought this book, but five stars it does not deserve. As I read it, I thought, this is someone who has lived a bare bones existence, and was successful at authoring a prior book. Mr. Lundin does a fair job of covering a monstrously huge subject. For example, Part 1 (1/4th) of the... more info
Customer Review: This is a nice basic guide with an overview for some overall preparedness. A good guide if you have no clue for emergency preparedness. Being a paperback, it will be easy to take with you and keep accessible to check often. Easy to find info.

Customer Review: Unless you live in a concrete bunker with a personal security force trained in fire suppression, personal security, and emergency medicine and can afford to have all of the essentials for daily living delivered to your door so that you NEVER, EVER have to leave home . . . you should read this book.... more info
Customer Review: This is one of those books that, as you read it you say to yourself "why didn't I know about this before, and why don't people talk about it more?" One of my favorite books ever.
Customer Review: The only give I gave two stars is because the storm itself is so interesting. The writing itself deserves one star. The style of the of the book is annoying. By writing short sentences and making assumtions that cannot be backed up with evidence, he tries to bring drama to a story that already has... more info

Customer Review: Johnstown Flood. David McCullough. 1967. 304 Pages. This was a good book. I read it as a prelude to David McCullough's lecture on 21SEP2006 in Scranton. The book is 70% social history (it was written in 1967!). It is well written and the photos are interesting. About 15% is prelude to disaster,... more info
