Your Last Week. How to prepare for the APOCALYPSE? Step by step guide.
I assumed due to the timing of this book it was about the Mayan Calendar issue (12/21/2012) but I didn’t find that mentioned at all, and it could just be about any coming disaster. (I don’t subscribe to that particular fear) I checked out the book and it’s a 7 day plan for building up basic preps. Here’s part of the “blurb:”

Alaska at the Spawn
An essay about fishing in Alaska, but not a how-to fishing story. A how-not to fishing story.

The Lancet: Zoonoses: Global Health Series
The Lancet is a respected medical journal.  This is a preorder (click now; will be sent to your account Dec 10.)
"Endemic and enzootic zoonoses cause about a billion cases of illness in people and millions of deaths every year, and emerging zoonoses are a rising threat to global health. Zoonoses – pathogenic organisms such as bacteria or viruses which we share with animals – cause more than 60% of human infectious diseases, and have been responsible for some of the most devastating disease outbreaks in recent years, including HIV, Ebola, and SARS. However, despite their huge, and rising, impact on human health, there are still huge gaps in our understanding of how zoonoses spread and develop, which need to be urgently addressed if we are to be able to reduce the impact of the next zoonotic pandemic..."

With essays covering topics as diverse as animal rights, extinction, deforestation, terrorism and overpopulation, Can Life Prevail? for the first time makes the lucid, challenging writing of Linkola available to an English-speaking public.”
