Teaching Choral Concepts

Review

     The beginners guide is conveniently organized in eight sections. Part 1 discusses the why, what, how and where of food storage and recommends basic foods for a home storage program. Part 2 presents food-storage facts and covers fumigation, the storage environment, containers, shelving plans and rotation. Dehydration, fermenting, smoking and curing meat are the themes of Part 3.  Non-food necessities such as medical supplies, clothing, and baby needs are treated in Part 4. Survival mechanics, Part 5, includes ovenless baking, soap making, candle molding, tanning hides, using white gas and kerosene, and tips for a survival garden.  Part 6 is a recipe section for survival foods, presenting simple, tasty recipes for many dishes including cookies and crackers, breads and cereals, main dishes, and desserts. Part 7 presents tips on techniques for sprouting grain, washing on a rub board, building animal traps, storage utensils, and other handy hints. The final chapter, Part 8, presents information for a comprehensive survival library. 

Beginners Guide to Family Preparedness will be a valuable addition to any home or community library. Horizon Publishers recognizes it as an important contribution to the literature on food storage and preparedness and takes pleasure in its release.
