TGS Survival Books Reprint: This small booklet contains advice for farming, that will benefit the home gardener, too. It's easy to say fertilize or rotate the crops, but few urbanites really know what this means or how to do it.

WHILE preparing an account of MOUNT ETNA for the Encyclopaedia Britannica, I was surprised to find that there exists no single work in the English language devoted to the history of the most famous volcano in the world. I was consequently induced to considerably enlarge the Encyclopædia article, and the following pages are the result. The facts recorded have been collected from various sources-German, French, Italian, and English, and from my own observations made during the summer of 1877.

Rare scanned reprint of the original Author's Edition of this unusual book. The journey is to the inner earth, it's hollow, it's inhabited, it's unusual, it's hell, and it's a virtual wonderworld. If you never read Etidorpha, tis a story quite like no other. The author's edition was decorated more than the published edition.

Gypsies reading the ley lines that crisscross England; Taoist priests interpreting feng shui charts; Midwestern rainmakers dowsing the parched fields of the American prairie -- what do they all have in common? Each of these activities uses the world energy grid to advance health, knowledge and personal fortune.

Rural farms were not always on the 'grid' and this book shows several methods employed to produce the electricity needed for their homes and farms. These methods could again be used to furnish energy in the event of an emergency or disaster, or even to get off the electric company's swindle.

A valuable research effort from 1874. Had the people of earth heeded it's revelations would our planet be ailing from human destruction today? George P. Marsh offers an object, fair, and balanced look at how mankind is destroying the planet and how man has benefitted the planet. Nearly 500 pages and heavily documented with over 640 footnotes. This is one of the early books published on 'greening' the earth and making our planet sustainable. An environmentalist's resource!
