di Matthew Stein (Autore)

Chelsea Green, 2026

**The classic, comprehensive primer on sustainable living skills—from food and water to shelter and energy to first aid and crisis-management skills—fully revised and updated for 2026 and beyond ** Matthew Stein’s When Technology Fails 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:  The basics of installing a renewable energy system for your home or business  How to find and sterilize water in the face of utility failure  How to keep warm if you’ve been left temporarily homeless  Practical information for dealing with water-quality issues  Alternative health and first-aid techniques  Each chapter describes skills for self-reliance in good times and bad. Chapters include:  A survey of the risks to the status quo  Supplies and preparation for short- and long-term emergencies  Emergency measures for survival  Prepping water, food, shelter, and clothing  First aid, low-tech medicine, and healing  Securing energy, heat, and power  Metalworking  Utensils and storage  Low-tech chemistry engineering, machines, and materials
