Trade Review'Survive and Thrive is the guidebook I wish I had while I was tracking down oily criminals in the jungles of Ecuador and the vultures in Africa. Bill and Jeanne have done it again, making a readable, easy-to-understand guide to preparing for and surviving disasters--whether a hurricane, wildfire, or the next pandemic. It's a book that should be on every journalist's shelf.' * GREG PALAST, NYT Bestselling author and investigative journalist *
'As a life-long prepper and survivalist, I found this book to be extremely informative. The tools you need for a single individual or a family are conveniently located in this easy-to-read guide. Disaster can happen anywhere and at anytime--no matter who you are or where you live. Surviving a disaster is one thing. Thriving afterwards is a completely different situation. If you want to learn how, look no further than this guide.' * BRENDAN CALLAGHAN, Retired Navy SEAL Petty Officer First Class SO1 *
'In the face of a climate crisis that may be even worse than we thought, Survive and Thrive is a refreshing dose of positivity with step-by-step guidelines to help us all to literally weather the storm. But beyond being a disaster and preparedness guide, this is a readable, comprehensive manual for a new way of living -- one which teaches and empowers the individual, while also recognizing that it's a collaborative and sustainable model which will be critical to successfully navigating an uncertain future. This should be mandatory 21st-century reading, on every shelf.' * THOM HARTMANN, NYT bestselling author and host of the Thom Hartmann Program *
'Sage advice, in my opinion--and I've spent most of my life at the end of a dirt road. The only advice I would add is, work through these checklists with as many neighbors as possible, because in a real crisis (of which a globally heated world will provide plenty) they're going to be your bar-none best survival assets!' * BILL MCKIBBEN, author of The End of Nature *
'Where has this been all my adulting life? Informative, comprehensive, self-aware, socially conscious, and most of all relatable and fun to read, this book takes numerous daunting topics and systematically breaks down the overwhelming into the practical as if the co-authors Jeanne and Bill were also coaches right by your side, guiding you along to embrace a unique concept of selfless and benevolent self-reliance (or at the very least knowing you can use Doritos as fire starters... who knew?). I'm glad I now have this on me; that fact alone already makes me feel I could be a tiny bit more ready for the next apocalypse.' * CALVIN D. SUN, MD, emergency physician, clinical assistant professor in emergency medicine, and author of The Monsoon Diaries *
