Who wouldn't want to know where to look for dinner when times get tough?!The book covers edible plants and animals around the globe, and includes information about historical and current use, how hard it is to catch, gather, and prepare. Learn how to access the meat in armored catfish, use a remora for fishing, and how to toast termites to eat like popcorn. Decide whether to use reindeer moss to make alcohol, bread, or jelly. It is, however, not a detailed guide so much as an overview.

Mmmmm, tasty. =) I'll try for it. Thanks!
This sounds like a really cool book!
I have a sneaking feeling that you're going to get a fair share of comments on this post.
And yes, I'd love to learn about termite popcorn (but I won't eat them...).
I think my kids would get a kick out of this book. They like reading those books with unusual or weird facts, and I think this qualifies.
Ooh yes, this book sounds like a load of fun. My son (almost 3 yrs) and I just finished listening to "How to eat fried worms" on CD in the car.
It looks like a pretty interesting book, though I'd have to be REALLY hungry to go w/ the termites.
I might try the termite popcorn if it came down to survival-yeah-protein. Thanks for the chance.
This sounds great! Thanks!

Hey, it's good to have a background in a wide range of skills as well as what/how to eat, should the need arise. Count me in.
This sounds like an awesome book. paulukon at yahoo dot com
Hi Chile! Just catching up after a few weeks off! The book sounds interesting!
Sounds very interesting. Maybe I would learn something that would save my life if I was stranded on a deserted island, or ever go on Survivor. Thanks!

Can nature get any weirder than the unnatural orange glow of a Cheeto?
