While it's true I only have 10 of the 100 Skills You'll Need for the End of the World (as We Know It) , thanks to Ana Maria Spagna's cheerfully reassuring text and Brian Cronin's charmingly practical illustrations, I am confident I'll be able to handle any and all catastrophes our planet throws at me! -- Susan Beth Pfeffer, author of Life As We Knew It / The Last Survivor series Move over, 50 Simple Things You Can Do to Save the Earth. In this trusty little volume, Ana Maria Spagna has created a handbook for how to be a better human: more self-sufficient, more cooperative and kind-hearted, more in tune with your surroundings. This is no mere primer on reskilling; it's a humor-infused exploration of how to live more lightly on the planet while getting in touch with your more virtuous self. -- Jennifer Sahn, editor of Orion magazine

The item arrived well-packaged, exactly as described, and even sooner than expected. Communication was clear and friendly throughout the entire process, and any questions I had were answered quickly. It’s clear this seller takes pride in providing great service and making sure buyers are satisfied. Everything about this transaction was smooth and stress-free. I’m extremely happy wit

    Plum Circle is one of my absolute favorite eBay sellers! I have made dozens of purchases from them over the years! Their listings are very accurate -- most books are new or remainders and the odd ex-library book is clearly identified so there are never any unhappy surprises! Most books appear new and they are always SO well packed and protected! Even though they don't offer shipping discounts their prices are super competitive and you will ALWAYS get lovely quality books that arrive undamaged!

    "not worth the money spent on the book"

    Basically just a list of skills, but nothing about obtaining the skills. And the skills listed are the obvious ones.
