Interesting Things about “Nature vs. Technology” book by D. J. Mathews
As noted above, the universe is so vast. In movies and TV shows about the imagined “Star Trek” universe, spaceships travel millions of miles in a short amount of time, with something called a “warp drive” ability. Could we perfect this in future, actually make it to Alpha Centauri, a star system 4 light years away?
This is talked about in the chapter “Space, the Final Frontier” in Nature vs. Technology — Who’s Winning? The title of the book isn’t meant to be innately pessimistic. There are a lot of pros and cons to everything happening with nature and technology out there in the world today.
Take managing in the woods. Would you know what to do if you got lost? In Chapter Six, “Into the Wild Woods,” author and survivalist Les Stroud has some common sense tips to help you if lost. For one thing, you could always use a rock to help you pull down branches you could make into a “lean-to” you could survive in, in the middle of a big forest. And you can chew on pine needles or even make into a soup if you are able to make a fire with dried leaves, twigs, hitting two rocks together (but there is an “art” to doing that). Stroud was actually on the Canadian show “Survivor Man” several seasons so his ideas in his book would be helpful.
At least he didn’t have to half starve himself the way they do on the Alone show (episodes shown on the History Channel and Netflix). It is so “unlike” that Survivor show because you don’t work with a group and vote someone “off the island” there. These 10 contestants are in a remote, cold place, alone, usually just south of the Arctic Circle in Canada. They are there barely a month when it starts to snow. They have to catch their own food, and you gotta be expert at fishing, creating a snare rabbits can get caught in, or using a bow and arrow to bag a grouse or something bigger. When it gets cold foraging for mushrooms and berries just doesn’t do it. Some have quit or are taken “off the show” if they are too thin, or freezing. Imagine how our ancestors did it 150 years ago! (We have so many modern conveniences and are so darn spoiled!)
I actually have a few ideas regarding hair dye. It may not be as harsh as previously noted by some. But I do use the Naturtint brand, which has no ammonia and some natural, nonharsh ingredients.

(C.T.A.) You can find actual excerpts of the “Nature vs. Technology” book [also an eBook now] by going to amazon.com or reading it at my publisher’s site: https://booklocker.com/books/13621.html )
And gals, Naturtint, as mentioned in my book, “is” healthier overall. Ammonia really burns the scalp!
