What skills will you need after a global catastrophe? Whether it's the end of oil, an environmental disaster, or something entirely unforeseen, Ana Maria Spagna outlines 100 skills you'll find indispensable for life after the apocalypse.
Ana Maria Spagna lives and writes in Stehekin, Washington, a remote community in the North Cascades. She’s the author of 100 Skills You'll Need for the End of the World (as We Know It), and after 15 years working on backcountry trail crews, she now teaches creative nonfiction in the Whidbey Writers Workshop low-residency MFA program. Her writing on nature, work, and life in a small community appears regularly in Orion, High Country News, Mountain Gazette, Oregon Quarterly, and elsewhere.
While it's true I only have 10 of the 100 Skills You'll Need for
the End of the World (as We Know It), thanks to Ana Maria Spagna's
cheerfully reassuring text and Brian Cronin's charmingly practical
illustrations, I am confident I'll be able to handle any and all
catastrophes our planet throws at me!
-- Susan Beth Pfeffer, author ofLife As We Knew It / The Last
Survivor series
Move over, 50 Simple Things You Can Do to Save the Earth. In this
trusty little volume, Ana Maria Spagna has created a handbook for
how to be a better human: more self-sufficient, more cooperative
and kind-hearted, more in tune with your surroundings. This is no
mere primer on reskilling; it's a humor-infused exploration of how
to live more lightly on the planet while getting in touch with your
more virtuous self.
-- Jennifer Sahn, editor of Orion magazine
