It's about an asteroid hitting the moon and pushing it closer to the Earth and it causes all sorts of catastrophes, including altering the climate. Now please note that these are considered 'teen novels' because the protagonists are young people but just like The Hunger Games, they are really enjoyable. The first book was so popular, the author wrote a second and I believe a third one now too. The second focuses on a boy in NYC and he struggles to keep his family alive after his parents disappear in the tidal waves that decimate the city. Ha, they sound depressing and they can be but they are hopeful at the same time. The first one had some great survival info about how to react if it all ever hits the fan, ha.

This guy and his wife REALLY lived on a sustainable farm and made it work. Next, from the 40's "The Good Life" by Helen and Scott Nearing. They built their own home from stone!
