The Knowledge: How to Rebuild our World from Scratch

Product Information

One wonders if one of the influential texts driving this book (it is cited in the reading list) is Walter Miller's classic scifi novel 'A Canticle for Leibowitz' because at times it reads like a response to that book's thesis of science lost to faith. It is a quarrel started as a first strike on faith. And what is that key survival move? Simple. As soon as you can, grab the guns and organise in war bands to protect your own and control territory. Disturbingly, the progress implied in the book is also going to require cheap slave labour. There are no nice liberal solutions to apocalypse.

This is where it is vitally important to specify the nature of the catastrophe. Will all of the land be equally accessible and free from contamination? Will there be the remnants of a plague like event that keeps people apart? How much damage has been caused to our current infrastructure? What will continue to be usable? If we assume away these issues - as the book does - then we are overlooking a number of key factors that could affect our ability to rebuild our society, even if we wanted to. While studying the Knowledge you are obliged to notify us of any changes in your status, such as the following: A rather disappointing book, 'The Knowledge' purports to give us the basics for the survival of civilisation in the wake of an apocalypse based on some slightly dubious assumptions about what actually survives of humanity and in what condition. I think that I didn't really get past the objection of why one would want to rebuild the UK to a standard of technology broadly similar to that of today. Surely a catastrophe such as that would present an opportunity to make a fresh start? If we could rebuild our civilisation, would we want to reignite naked consumerism? Would we pass the chance of replacing maximisation with enoughness? Would we want to avoid the mistakes we made the first time around? I remain very unconvinced by the central premise that a recovering society would be foolish enough to follow the path that we have created for ourselves. Pero, tal y como dice Lewis Dartnell, sería imposible dejar todo el conocimiento recogido en un solo libro, por eso opta por las cuestiones fundamentales. Esa es, realmente, la idea sobre la que gira esta obra: darnos esos atajos científicos que, por falta de nociones periféricas, iluminación o simple casualidad, no permitieron que la tecnología y el saber avanzaran más rápido. También se tratan aquellos inventos que, por simple competencia comercial o circunstancias sociopolíticas, se perdieron. En este sentido, para alguien con un conocimiento tecnológico cercano a la nada, resulta sorprendente lo completo y variado que resulta el abanico de temas que se nos ofrece.These are already available, though may take some looking. Together, they comprise a gold mine of information supplemental to that presented in The Knowledge.

The footnotes throughout the book are consistently very interesting. I think any writer interested in world building would find the book very useful. The ‘apocalypse’ itself described in book was very clinical but this book is not meant to be a blow-by-blow instruction manual. I couldn’t see survivors sitting around it deciding what to do on Day 24. However, it does contain a lot of high level technological insight that a post-apocalyptic Edison or Pasteur might find useful and could spend years of their lives trying to leverage. In our planet, the golden age is being established together with the entire universe consciousness in a splendid way. The cosmic consciousness attained by this means become stronger in time and make us attain a brand-new personality, and we discover the genuine human being in us. Tengo que reconocer que empecé este libro por equivocación, pero, como sucede a veces, los errores se convirtieron en aciertos. Al menos en parte. Me explico: llegué a esta obra pensando que sería una especie de ensayo de género, un estudio sobre qué hacer si de pronto nos viéramos correteando alegremente en medio de algún tipo de apocalipsis propio de una novela de género.And as my education has furthered into the sciences and gone into research, my environmentalism has increased and the knowledge of human activity with respect to the stability of the climate has caused these thought experiments to become more of a possible future reality. I believe it is within the realm of possibility that civilisation as we know it could collapse during my lifetime. The more I learn, the more I realise it would not take much at all to tip the scales into a decline in drastic decline in living standards. Whichever licence you choose to apply for, you will have to accumulate an encyclopedic knowledge of the streets and places of interest in that area. This will prove you can navigate your way around the Capital.

Es una guía interesante que habla desde el método científico, de algo de biología, medicina, sociología, economia e ingeniería, así como de procesos industriales como el proceso Faber-Bosch para obtener nitrógeno.

Similarly, although a trifle dull except to techno-nerds, the run-through of all the basic technologies that underpin civilisation and which will require re-creation to rebuild it is informative and reasonable even if it is clear that we are talking about centuries of labour. The purpose should be to tell us that, most probably, the cost of apocalypse would be so high that we should work harder at averting it and, second, that there are thresholds of apocalypse where we can survive but at the cost of values that are implicit in this book and others. About: The London Knowledge School is an extremely encouraging, friendly, welcoming, inclusive school to learn the Knowledge of London. We are based in Grays, Essex near the A13 and M25. The Allah of this brother/sister totality is the same. Their essence is the same. Henceforth, their religions not be different, either, since religious dimensions have been closed long ago in the universal totality.

Qué pasaría en los primeros meses? ¿Qué hay que hacer? Lo primero, buscar cobijo, alimentos y agua. Necesitaremos 3 litros de agua por día. Nos explica cómo filtrar el agua con carbón vegetal y arena. También las botellas de agua servirán, y mejor al sol para esterilizarlas. El pegamento nos servirá para cerrar heridas. En cuanto a comida, un super nos durará 55 años, con las latas y conservas. La gasolina no durará tanto, 10 años máximo. También explica que hay que ir a un campo de golf para buscar las baterías de los cochecitos, alternadores de coches para disponer de generadores eléctricos. Los plásticos, mejor PET. You will need to demonstrate a good working knowledge of London's suburbs by learning an additional 25 routes. Stage 7: Licence application and pre-licensing talk Fortunately, much thought and effort has already gone into this kind of summary for students, professionals and hobbyists. Together, they comprise a goldmine of supplemental information to that presented in The Knowledge.

There is a book to be written not for the future (as this one purports to be) but for the present which describes exactly what would happen under various apocalyptic scenarios to the species using the insights of the social sciences and humanities alongside the history of technology.

Whatever the cause, the world as we know it has ended and you and the other survivors must start again.
