Science: What's Going On
Climate
Casey, John L.: Upheaval! Why Catastrophic Earthquakes Will Soon Strike the United States
Highly recommend. Casey's latest work, including other researchers, speaks specifically to the seismic effects that the extended solar minimum produces, both historically, and actively now.
Casey, John L.: Dark Winter
Skills: How to Survive It
Rawles, James Wesley: How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It
Reading now. Was widely reviewed well, and I hope the man has as much pride in this work as his fiction. Patriots is absolutely worth reading.
Rawles, James Wesley: Patriots
In fact, I'm including this. It's basically survival book in fiction format. Total page turner, and also informative as to how an EMP/CME might play out.
Foraging
Elias, Thomas and Dykeman, Peter: Edible Wild Plants: A North American Field Guide
Homes: How to Build Them
Oehler, Mike: The $50 and Up Underground House Book
Food: How to Grow It
Emery, Carla: The Encyclopedia of Country Living
Matt Powers The Permaculture Student
This basically spans all categories: growing, preserving/storing, animals. Great reference.
Spirulina
Baum, Dr. Aaron Wolf: Grow Your Own Spirulina Superfood: a simple how-to guide
Short, consise, to the point. Based on his decades of phycological experience. This is standing on shoulders of giants.
Gardening
Warnock, Caleb: The Forgotten Skills of Self-Sufficiency used by the Mormon Pioneers
Decent, a little bit weak sauce. I enjoyed the historical sidebars, accounts of folks who struggled to make it and did, generally. Often simply references other books (although, largely ones that I've read and would suggest are required reading: Jeavens, Seed-to-Seed, etc). Not at the top of my list.
Markham, Brett: MiniFarming, Self-Sufficiency on 1/4 Acre
Ashworth, Suzanne: Seed to Seed
Seymour, John: The Self-Sufficient Gardener
Jeavons, John: How to Grow More Vegetables, And Fruits, Nuts, Berries...
Jeavens outlines the Biointensive methodology. The link is to the 8th edition, ymmv
