Bates of the Ecovillage Training Center. Ships from the USA, quickly & w/care. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: The Y2K Survival Guide and Cookbook preserves a historical moment of modern millenarian panic, combining practical off-grid culinary tactics with late-twentieth-century self-sufficiency strategies. Published in 1999 as a direct response to the approaching millennium bug crisis, the manual outlines vital household preparedness techniques. Readers explore detailed guides for off-grid water collection, alternative lighting, waste disposal, and campfire cooking. Practical recipes utilizing shelf-stable pantry goods provide a culinary framework for maintaining domestic stability during times of infrastructure disruption. Co-authors Dorothy R. Bates and Albert K. Bates drew from their extensive experience at the Ecovillage Training Center to craft a sustainable, community-minded roadmap rather than a fear-driven doomsday guide. Permaculture design and ecological sustainability principles are integrated throughout the text. Black-and-white cartoons, checklists, and directory resources provide a highly accessible, humanized approach to navigating complex technical anxieties. Decades after the turn of the millennium, the work remains a sociological artifact of late-1990s cultural anxiety. The manual captures a moment balanced between technological dependency and sustainable self-reliance. …

Paperback. Condition: New. Conventional agriculture destroys our soils, pollutes our water and is a major contributor to climate change. What if our agricultural practices could stabilise, or even reverse these trends? This book explores the dual function of biochar as a carbon-negative energy source and a potent soil-builder. Created by burning biomass in the absence of oxygen, this material has the unique ability to hold carbon back from the atmosphere while simultaneously enhancing soil fertility. Author Albert Bates traces the evolution of this extraordinary substance from the ancient black soils of the Amazon to its reappearance as a modern carbon sequestration strategy. Combining practical techniques for the production and use of biochar with an overview of the development and future of carbon farming, this book describes how a new agricultural revolution can reduce net greenhouse gas emissions to below zero while increasing world food reserves and creating energy from biomass wastes. Biochar and carbon farming can: reduce fossil fuels inputs into our food system; bring new life to desert landscapes; filter and purify drinking water; and, help build carbon-negative homes, communities and nations.Biochar is not without dangers if unregulated, and it is not a panacea, but if it fulfills its promise of taking us back from the brink of irreversible climate change, it may well be the most important discovery in human history.…
