Why read it?
1 author picked Tom Brown's Field Guide to Wilderness Survival as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Survival books these days tend to be more flash and gimmicks than qualify information, just selling an author’s image rather than providing practical, valuable tools that can be immediately put to use by any inquisitive and motivated reader. Brown not only eschews such silliness, but he also provides the information in a tone and with an attitude sadly unusual in the genre and at large, inspiring curiosity, awe, and respect for the world around us rather than a clumsy attempt to dominate it.
From Greg's list on The best books on self-reliance for achieving success and fulfillment.
