Handbook for Space ColonistsStine1985This terribly outdated book is currently available at our local library. The book opens with the assumption that soon we will have a choice to live/work in space. What follows is a VERY thorough guide to situations & challenges that will result. From having space sex to going to the bathroom, it’s all covered! The best advice?… “Gas producing foods should be eliminated from space menus. You will be working in a space suit with reduced atmospheric pressure. Gas producing foods can cause considerable flatulence, which might overload your suit’s air purification elements”. This is probably good to remember on Earth too.

Holly: I love books like this! Clearly, it needs to be weeded, but someone will snatch it up in a used book sale in a hot minute.
