Carol Hill writes: "Subsistence is endurance not poverty. And the ability to endure, stubbornly confronting life and dealing with it in personal terms, is what distinguishes the people in this book..Their self-assurance comes from knowing they can make do with the experience of a lifetime and a few simple tools." .
