quality suggestions, De re metallica sounds like the perfect mix between cultural heritage and survival technology. practical history is a big win. the wife is getting really into learning about medicinal plants, she has a few books already, but i will try get a few more. Just learned how to make ropes and cordage from plant fibers last night (surprisingly easy) which will be very useful. What is the og saxon physics book? any good books that detail the rise and fall of rome?
Saxon Math is a series of homeschool oriented math textbooks that cover up through basic calc and physics. The earliest editions are far superior.
The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire is the title. Written by Gibbon.
Forgot to add the Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenitsyn.
I got most of the way through gulag archipeligo through audiobook on my phone. could listen to it every day on the way to work and often at work since at the time my job was almost entirely physical.
I have the pdf and have highly recommended it to many people but like most things conspiracists recommend it goes ignored. Honestly i would recommend reading at minimum the first chapter or two on the arrests, it is the closest to where we are immediately, it shows how the world went from 'everything is fine' to 'me? what for? surely someone will set this right!' and the rest of the book explains in great detail what happens when it is not set right.
The books that i could find with that specific name looked to be something else. I looked for gibbon and found 'The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' which i am going to assume is what you meant? splitting hairs here lol, ill take a look into that suggestion.
Ill have a look at the textbooks, my wife was planning on homeschooling anyway and id agree that modern education has declined.
'The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire'
That's the one.
