Update 5/3/14: Robert LaVigne passed away a month ago. I am deeply saddened at his loss, and am sorry I was not able to see him again before he died. May he rest in peace. Original review: These booklets are a great concept -- take 25 different artists and have them each create a small booklet of their artwork to widely distribute. I have not seen all of the booklets in this collection, but I have seen a handful of them and own one. The booklets vary in quality of the art, but most are excellent. However, some of the reproduction leaves something to be desired. I have Robert LaVigne's booklet, Cyberliths, which is excellent. Robert LaVigne is an artist from the Beat Generation, a good friend of Allen Ginsberg and his ilk. His artwork in this booklet is very different from his paintings. In the work he has tackled the idea of the language and of the staggering time required to reduce plutonium to safe levels of radiation. We can barely decipher works from some cultures thousands of years ago. How can we make sure cultures millions of years from now can read our warnings on our nuclear "safes"? The art looks like black and white ink drawings, though it all was done digitally. They are of objects covered with glyphs that are believable and realistic. The work conveys a feeling of antiquity while also asserting the future. I give four stars to the collection and five stars to Cyberliths. --------------------------------------------------------- Postscript: I wrote this review 9 years go. I got to meet and work with Mr. Lavigne because he needed help using PageMaker to lay this book out and I supported PageMaker at Adobe Tech Support. He was in ailing health at the time and I don't know if he is still alive, as I cannot find any information about him. In return for my meager help he insisted I take one of his pieces of art, all he had in a tiny rent-controlled apartment above the Pike Place Market. I took the smallest he had. He was introduced to me by a good friend who was also immensely talented and who committed suicide a few years later. This review is my honest opinion of the book but it is also a memorial to two beautiful souls.

You can remain alive anywhere in the world when you keep your wits. This is a major lesson in survival. Remember that nature and the elements are neither your friend nor your enemy—they are actually disinterested. Instead, it is your determination to live and your ability to make nature work for you that are the deciding factors. Learn to put up with new and unpleasant conditions. Keeping your mind on SURVIVAL will help. Don’t be afraid to try new foods. One survivor reported that some men would almost starve before eating strange food. He said they tried a soup made from lamb’s head, with lamb’s eyes floating around in it. When a new prisoner came in, he would try to find a seat next to him so he could eat the food the prisoner refused. A clean shave is a good morale booster. Avoid scratches, bruises, and loss of direction and confidence by developing “jungle eye.” If caught in an avalanche, use swimming motions to stay on top. Be careful not to drink more than three or four cups of ripe coconut juice a day. This juice is a violent laxative. Be careful not to get this [papaya:] juice into your eyes—it will cause intense pain and temporary or even permanent blindness. …you can live for a long period on nothing but almonds. Both rats and mice are palatable meat, particularly if cooked in a stew. These rodents should be skinned, gutted, and boiled. Rats and mice should be boiled about 10 minutes. Either may be cooked with dandelion leaves. Always include the livers. Survival in remote and desolate areas, in the Arctic, desert, or jungle, depends on you. You must be physically fit; have a fundamental knowledge of woodcraft principles; know what foods are available and how to find and prepare them; understand how to care for your body and how to conserve energy; and recognize those plants and animals that will harm you. Armed with this knowledge, you are prepared to wage a winning battle for survival. With few exceptions, natives are friendly. They know the country, its available water and food, and the way back to civilization…. (1) Let the natives contact you. Deal with the recognized headman or chief to get what you want …. (3) Treat natives like human beings. …. (5) Respect personal property, especially their women. (6) Don’t take offense at pranks played on you. Primitive people especially are fond of practical jokes. Survival is synonymous with “take your time.” The polar bear is a tireless, clever hunter with good sight and an extraordinary sense of small. He may even hunt you! Do not fry meat. This method eliminates the fat necessary for your health. Don’t hurry. Never try to beat the jungle by speed—you can’t. Native food in the Sahara is both palatable and edible. You are less likely to enjoy the food that is available in the Gobi since the native Mongols have less idea of cleanliness than the Arabs. Avoid wild buffalo because of their continued mean tempers.
