This is my own novel, the first book in The Feral World series. The story takes place 3,000 years from now after an asteroid has destroyed our civilization. In this future, North America has become wild again, and people live as nomadic hunter-gathers once more. A young man named Blake and his friends journey across this exotic landscape in search of a new home to the south in the fabled Warmland.

One of the first post-apocalyptic novels ever, this book explores what would happen to a person, a society, and a nation if civilization were to suddenly collapse. In this case, the apocalypse is due to a viral epidemic. Stewart's sensibility about how people relate to their environment is amazing.

The first book in the Ishmael series by Daniel Quinn. A young man seeks spiritual advice, and finds himself learning from a telepathic gorilla named Ishmael. The gorilla teaches the man how people have distorted history, how imbalanced man's current existence is, and how to conduct himself in a more ethical way. This book is as refreshing as it is profound.

This is the third book in the Ishmael series, and it's just as profound as the other two. Quinn turns history on its head once more, and gets the reader thinking about where humanity is really headed.

This non-fiction book on simple living was written by The great Transcendentalist author Henry David Thoreau. Although it was originally published in 1854, its stand for harmony and balance is still relevant today, and probably always will be.

Written by Bjorn Lomborg, this book seeks to critically evaluate the environmental problems we face today. Lomborg confirms some concerns but refutes others, and overall takes the alarm out of these issues to make them more manageable. A very good read.

Based on the classic French novel by J.-H. Rosny Aîné, this story was artfully adapted to film in 1981. It's about a tribe of Cro-Magnons who know how to tend fire but not create it. When their fire is extinguished, they must send three of their men on a mission to find another source of fire.

Rare and amazing footage of beautiful landscapes, endangered animals, and exciting scenes of predators chasing their prey. Beautiful.
