Milk, Sulphate, and Alby Starvation by Martin Millar.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Milk-Sulphate-Starvation-Martin-Mil...

This book was given to me by my first girlfriend. She died some time later, and I've found her death hard to deal with.

A few things bring back really strong memories of her - drinking tea and eating buttery pikelets and jam, listening to Ivor Cutler or Tallulah Gosh.

This book (and his others) do that.

The new Guide to Self Sufficiency by John Seymour. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1405345101/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?i...

We used to live in the country side, and I had to chop wood for our family, our neighbours, and my aunt who lived nearby. It's almost meditative. You start with a big pile of logs, and a sharp ax, and you end with more wood on the stack. It's surprising how quickly you can burn wood, especially if you're using it to cook food and heat your home.

Self Sufficiency by John Seymour.

In the UK this book started a movement of people wanting to be more self-sufficient, using small gardens and allotments to grow food and sometimes livestock.

We had chickens when I was young (about four, five?) and goats when I was a bit older.

I do this a lot by cleaning up the URL by hand. Use dp/ followed by the ISBN number, like so:
