Almost Famous Friday's

 Robert Kopecky, author of How to Survive Life (and Death), A Guide to Happiness in This World and Beyond, recently released by Conari Press/Weiser Books (and gratefully well-received!) It's a serious, but fun book from someone with unusual qualifications.The book is based on my three very compelling, and distinctively different Near Death Experiences, and what I learned about life from each of them. My emphasis isn't on scenarios of the afterlife, but on the nature and meaning of each of the three experiences; not about what heaven looks like, but about how to make this life look a bit more heavenly

 David Denkenberger,is a research associate at the Global Catastrophic Risk Institute. My book is called "Feeding Everyone No Matter What" and presents alternate food supplies if agriculture is disrupted by events like abrupt climate change or nuclear winter. Solutions range from the conventional (e.g. growing mushrooms on dead trees) to the exotic (e.g. eating bacteria grown in natural gas).
