The title is a bit over dramatic but, per the title, if you could contribute with one piece of knowledge to a book that every single individual should learn from in order to kickstart a civilization, what would be yours?

My personal choice would be the process of soap making, from scratch.

Brewing beer. It might not be "essential," but the apocalypse is gonna be bad enough, might as well have beer.

Apocolpse probably needs something stronger like distilling skills.

Or how to make edibles.

Distillation alone would be useful for disinfection and conservation.

Beer brewing fits right in with sanitation that a lot of us are pushing.
