The title is a bit over dramatic but, per the title, if you could contribute with one piece of knowledge to a book that every single individual should learn from in order to kickstart a civilization, what would be yours?

My personal choice would be the process of soap making, from scratch.

The basics of manufacturing fertiliser. It's a lot easier to build a civilisation on a full belly.

Also, funny story, I already have a disk like this started.

    Ever since covid hit, I've been keeping digital copies of several books like the following:

    • Reader's Digest DIY Manual
    • The Forager's Harvest - A Guide to Identifying Harvesting and Preparing Edible Wild Plants by Samuel Thayer
    • The Complete Guide to Edible Wild Plants
    • Back to Basics - Abigail R. Gehring And of course a copy of Wikipedia.

    I haven't gone full "prepper", but seeing how fast things went sideways at the beginning of covid, it makes me feel a little better to set aside a little bit of hard drive space, just in case.
