These two massive books my dad gave me when I was a young teen. The Chronicle of the World And The Chronicle of America These books are about 7 inches thick and consist of early historical accounts and news paper articles of just about everything starting from the beginning until the early 90s. Amazing books that I spent late nights in my room reading and learning about history, | |||

I would be thinking more in terms of books on how to grow stuff and make stuff, especially in primitive conditions. Politics and even economics beyond the barter level will be way out in the future. Planting, growing and harvesting enough food to stay alive will be the survivors main concern | |||

There are bound to be kids present, so how about the collected works of Dr. Seuss and Mark Twain? "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

It's a little spendy, but I would suggest McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology Volumes 1-20 11th Edition (2012). I suspect it will be the last hard copy ever published. A good overview of everything. Specific subject areas that deserve a deep dive are books on: Agriculture (large and small scale), animal husbandry, structural & civil engineering, mathematics, a book of log tables, water treatment, food preservation, medicine, all the construction trades (carpentry, electrical, plumbing (including well, sewer, septic), small unit tactics, engine maintenance & repair, etc. The Book "It's not a book. It's a weapon." God Bless and Protect the Once and Future President, Donald John Trump. | |||
