 When
Technology Fails by Matthew Stein
NEW 4th Edition and Expanded BOOK
A Manual for Self-Reliance, Sustainability, and Surviving the Long
Emergency
Foreword by Richard Heinberg
"If you've been wondering about how to respond to the twin dangers of
peak oil and global warming, one of your best choices would be to read
this book."
—Greg Pahl, author of The Citizen-Powered Energy Handbook: Community
Solutions to a Global Crisis
There’s never been a better time to “be prepared.” Matthew Stein’s
comprehensive primer on sustainable living skills—from food and water to
shelter and energy to first-aid and crisis-management skills—prepares
you to embark on the path toward sustainability. But unlike any other
book, Stein not only shows you how to live “green” in seemingly stable
times, but to live in the face of potential disasters, lasting days or
years, coming in the form of social upheaval, economic meltdown, or
environmental catastrophe.
When Technology Fails covers the gamut. You’ll learn how to start a fire
and keep warm if you’ve been left temporarily homeless, as well as the
basics of installing a renewable energy system for your home or
business. You’ll learn how to find and sterilize water in the face of
utility failure, as well as practical information for dealing with
water-quality issues even when the public tap water is still flowing.
You’ll learn alternative techniques for healing equally suited to an era
of profit-driven malpractice as to situations of social calamity. Each
chapter (a survey of the risks to the status quo; supplies and
preparation for short- and long-term emergencies; emergency measures for
survival; water; food; shelter; clothing; first aid, low-tech medicine,
and healing; energy, heat, and power; metalworking; utensils and
storage; low-tech chemistry; and engineering, machines, and materials)
offers the same approach, describing skills for self-reliance in good
times and bad.
Fully revised and expanded—the first edition was written pre-9/11 and
pre-Katrina, when few Americans took the risk of social disruption
seriously—When Technology Fails 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.

 When
Disaster Strikes by Matthew Stein
Foreword by James Wesley, Rawles
A Comprehensive Guide for Emergency Planning and Crisis Survival
Matt Stein did an amazing job on this book! When Disaster Strikes is an
outstanding compilation of emergency preparedness information. This is
the one book I want on the bookshelves of all the people I care about,
including my children.
—Kathy Harrison, author of Just in Case: How to be Self-Sufficient When
the Unexpected Happens
Disasters often strike without warning and leave a trail of destruction
in their wake. Yet armed with the right tools and information, survivors
can fend for themselves and get through even the toughest circumstances.
Matthew Stein's When Disaster Strikes provides a thorough, practical
guide for how to prepare for and react in many of life's most
unpredictable scenarios.
In this disaster-preparedness manual, he outlines the materials you'll
need—from food and water, to shelter and energy, to first-aid and
survival skills—to help you safely live through the worst. When Disaster
Strikes covers how to find and store food, water, and clothing, as well
as the basics of installing back-up power and lights. You’ll learn how
to gather and sterilize water, build a fire, treat injuries in an
emergency, and use alternative medical sources when conventional ones
are unavailable.
Stein instructs you on the smartest responses to natural disasters—such
as fires, earthquakes, hurricanes and floods—how to keep warm during
winter storms, even how to protect yourself from attack or other
dangerous situations. With this comprehensive guide in hand, you can be
sure to respond quickly, correctly, and confidently when a crisis
threatens.
