The book I'm currently reading is a classic in the back-to-nature genre: How to Survive in the Woods, by Bradford Angier. So far it's very interesting, though I think it's intended to be more of a reference work than something you'd read through once. Mr. Angier is an excellent writer, clear and pithy. His explanations of how to kill and eat various wild animals are straightforward and informative, without seeming deliberately violent or gory.
More later on this fascinating book, first published in 1956.
