• As A City Dweller, I Find This Book Very Informative. 26 May, 1999
This book is a valuable resource of information for city and suburban dwellers, considering the impending Y2K situation at hand. Although the information in this book is important to know in any situation, I purchased it with the intention that it would help my family and I to cope with any Y2K related problems. The book helps to remove a fear of the unknown by explaining how household systems work, as well as how we are all connected to our ecological systems. When you realize that your basic needs for survival are: shelter, water, fire and food, in that order, you can live without all the other "wants". After reading Tom Brown's book, I feel better prepared to handle any emergency.

• Poorly Organized, Not Very Useful 16 August, 2007
This book rambles quite a bit and provides a wealth not very targeted information. Do I really need to know how the rain cycle works to survive in the suburbs? Or how a generator works (without instructions on how to build my own out of scraps)?
In all, the useful information in this book would fill a smallish pamphlet. The rest is filler.
A great disappointment.

• A Great Read. 01 July, 2008
This book is a great guide to being prepared for natural disasters in any city or suburb. Much of the content is techniques for wilderness survival that have been adapted for what you find in the city. One thing that you don't find in a wilderness survival guide is crime prevention, which is approached well in this book.
