About this listen
Maybe it was a viral pandemic or an asteroid strike or perhaps nuclear war. Whatever the cause, the world as we know it has ended, and you and the other survivors must start again.
What key knowledge would you need to start rebuilding civilisation from scratch? Once you’ve scavenged what you can, how do you begin producing the essentials? How do you grow food, generate power, prepare medicines, or get metal out of rocks? Could you avert another Dark Ages or take shortcuts to accelerate redevelopment?
Living in the modern world, we have become disconnected from the basic processes that support our lives, as well as the beautiful fundamentals of science that enable you to relearn things for yourself. The Knowledge is a journey of discovery, a book which explains everything you need to know about everything.
This is a quickstart guide for rebooting civilisation which will transform your understanding of the world - and help you prepare for when it’s no longer here...http://the-knowledge.org/

This is better than any textbook
Genuinely crammed with essential knowledge, and reads in a surprisingly lively style. Simple but comprehensive and not at all gloomy. A must read.

Great information
Very concise background on technologies that would be helpful after a global calamity. Some info can be over the typical person's head, especially regarding industrial chemicals, so this can't be your only reference when the apocalypse happens.
