Disclaimer / Content Warning: The following summaries are colored by my interpretations. They are not intended to act as a replacement for the reading of these books, but simply as a tool to aid one in their studies. Likewise, the inclusion of a book is not necessarily an endorsement of these works or their author(s). While we will attempt to keep the reviews tasteful, please note that some of the books about relationships speak openly about the topic of sex.
Contents
Books are organized alphabetically by author's last name, then alphabetically by title. There is no particular reason why the books are separated into the following categories other than the fact that these topics are important to me. Click on a link to jump to that section, or use the "Find" function of your browser to search the list. Each book is only listed once, although some books could be placed within multiple categories. Not every page has content yet. We are systematically working through them. More will be added as time allows.
Categories
• Interpersonal Relationships & Marriage
• Child Care, Parenting
• General Psychology & Communication
• Logic & Scientific Method
• Food & Nutrition (incl. Cooking)
• Plants (incl. Botany, Foraging, Herbalism, etc.)
• Health & Healing (incl. Anatomy, First Aid, Massage, etc.)
• Exercise
• Home (incl. Carpentry, Repair, etc.)
• Clothing (incl. Weaving, Sewing, Crochet, Knitting, etc.)
• Bushcraft, Survivalism, Homesteading, Prepping
Book Cover View
Whenever possible, I have included links to where an eBook of that work may be (legally) read and/or downloaded. The links come in one of four types:
1. Download - These links refer to a work that is freely available for saving to your own computer (e.g.: public domain or open access). Personal editing and sharing might be possible as well, but you will have to look for the licensing or copyright status yourself if you want to do that. They are usually available in multiple file formats. I will mark these links with a ↓
2. Borrow - These links refer to a work that is free to view online or through an app, but which may not be downloaded. Some out of print books fall into this category. I tend to stick with Internet Archive links, but you might also be able to find them through similar services provided by your local library (e.g.: Hoopla Digital). I will mark these links with a ○
3. Purchase - These links refer to a work that you must pay to download a copy. It may have watermarks or other aspects that link it to you, so you usually cannot share it with others, but you can view it and make personal backups however you like. I will try to specify the available file types and mark these links with a $
4. Lease - These links refer to a work that you must pay to view online or through an app. It usually has restrictions on downloading, printing, and/or the number of devices that it can be viewed on. This is sometimes known as Digital-Rights Management (DRM). I tend to stick with Google Play and VitalSource links, but there may be other places to get them. I will mark these links with a $
None of these are affiliate links. I simply want to make it easy for you to find the book if you want to read it yourself.
