Ray Mears Essential Bushcraft

The Knowledge: How to rebuild civilization in the aftermath of a cataclysm
Ray Mears "Essential Bushcraft" is an excellent anday patient introduction to skills.
It does what it says on the tin.

I really recommend the two Ray Mears books, his Outdoor Survival Handbook has some great illustrations and is separated by seasons and his Essential Bushcraft book is extremely detailed about all sorts of things you might need or could want to know
The comments are split into two camps: the "get out and do it" bunch, and those actually listing books. While of course there's no replacement for practice and experience, it isn't always possible to get outdoors the practice, and reading is a good way to correct your perceptions, learn new tricks, or find new ideas and inspirations.
The internet is a great place to start. There are a ton of excellent websites and forums in a variety of topics, and of course the inevitable YouTube channels, although I'm not so much a fan of videos. Be careful about online advice though; try and check reputations first, and validate things they are saying against your own experience (and, often, against common sense). That's the bad side of a place where anybody can say anything - lots of bad advice, and conflicting opinions.
Here's my book list though:
I also have a bunch of guidebooks on recognising trees, wild flowers, insects, birds, and so on, which are always useful skills to have. As with Gatty's book, watching the world around you and understanding the patterns of weather, animals, birds, and insects will give you lots of valuable clues about what's happening and how to predict changes in the environment. Trust the birds and the insects; they've been doing it a lot longer than you have!

Essential Bushcraft by Ray Mears is one that you should read
http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Bushcraft-Ray-Mears/dp/0340829710
Ray also had a documentary series that is worth looking up, I think it was called Bushcraft with Ray Mears but I may be mistaken on that.
