I suggest something by Emily Post... that is certainly needed for civilization... also needed for something here.
Courtesy, ladies and gentlemen.

Pretense, the man above me...
Wine, my french friend, is declasse in itself when you say it can restore a civilization. A pallet is backwash.
But, if someone wants to invite a chef in the place of a poet, be my furry guest.
Mine-
etiquette for outlaws
kama sutra
tropic of cancer.
Now, you want to get drunk, or you wanna get down?
Enough of me...

Well I hate to join the growing trend to bring this thread back on topic but my three selections are as follows:
1. Woodland survival guide (including such things as rudimentry first aid and how to find food, people do need to eat)
2. The Dictionary is a good one, I'll stick with that.
3. A guide to herbal medicine.
I personally feel that the sort of maths they would need I would be able to teach, and religion is something that will form naturally without the help of a world that so obviously stuffed it up royally. That was after all the point of "The time machine" it was a warning of how badly we could stuff things up if we continued to destroy each other over petty differences.
BTW.... though you both may think you are the most intelligent people on the net, in this thread at least, I don't think either of you have impressed anyone.

Sorry was referring to Wordweaver and AppolyionX... I just wanted to say something because the forum that I usually frequent... no-one would behave the way those two did on this thread. Maybe this isn't the forum for me if that is standard behaviour here. But I'm hoping it's not the standard of behaviour.

Yeah, I know.. I'm trying not to let it discourage me but I've noticed it in a few threads now.

what happened to all the mods?... there's so bleeping much bickering going on all over the place lately that most questions and legitimate responses get buried in it and threads become nothing more than a kindergarten play yard with a couple of bullies chasing off all the other kids...
grow up and act like responsible beings, or get out of here and find a better place to beat each other up, willya??? ...this is a place for folks who want to be writers, not for drooling infants to have their food fights!
