Modern life has made many household tasks easier-but it has also caused valuable practical knowledge to fade from everyday life.The Lost Skills of Self-Reliance brings together traditional, practical approaches to managing a capable home, using everyday resources wisely, reducing unnecessary waste, and keeping useful household knowledge alive.This book is not about rejecting modern convenience.
