Book Description
Looking for a way to reduce your environmental impact? Find your route to a more sustainable lifestyle with Dick Strawbridge and his son James. We can all take steps to reduce our carbon footprint and be more self-sufficient. For some, that might mean heading to the countryside to live off the land. For the rest of us, the reality might involve smaller, but no less important, lifestyle changes: cutting back on plastic or food waste, growing vegetables, preserving meat and fish, preparing jams and chutneys, baking sourdough bread, making your own plant-based milks, or keeping a chicken or two. Dick and James Strawbridge know what it's like to make these changes. Between them, they've lived on a smallholding, in a terraced house, and even a chateau. In this updated book, they share everything they've learned and give you the tools you need for a more rewarding and environmentally-conscious life. Whether you want to completely revamp your lifestyle or just make everyday changes that will make an impact, Self-Sufficiency for the 21st Century is the perfect place to start.

Book Description
Twelve-year-old Arron Ashworth braced himself in the back of the bouncing pickup, anxiously cushioning his best friend's head in his lap. Chipper lay unconscious, barely breathing as they sped down the canyon road for help. Dizzy, Arron forced his eyes open long enough to press another sweatshirt carefully to the left side of Chipper's head, the way he had learned in Scouts. He had to slow the bleeding. He and Chipper had been through a lot together, but nothing like this-not even close... In June 1990, Chipper Mangum sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in an accident. As her son fought for his life in Primary Children's Medical Center, and as he continued to fight for quality of life at home, Sharron Mangum kept a day-by-day account of his incredible journey. Chipper is his story.
