Synopsis"Unique among survival books... stunning... enthralling. Deep Survival makes compelling, and chilling, reading."--Penelope Purdy, Denver Post, After her plane crashes, a seventeen-year-old girl spends eleven days walking through the Peruvian jungle. Against all odds, with no food, shelter, or equipment, she gets out. A better-equipped group of adult survivors of the same crash sits down and dies. What makes the difference? Examining such stories of miraculous endurance and tragic death?how people get into trouble and how they get out again (or not)?Deep Survival takes us from the tops of snowy mountains and the depths of oceans to the workings of the brain that control our behavior. Through close analysis of case studies, Laurence Gonzales describes the "stages of survival" and reveals the essence of a survivor?truths that apply not only to surviving in the wild but also to surviving life-threatening illness, relationships, the death of a loved one, running a business during uncertain times, even war. Fascinating for any reader, and absolutely essential for anyone who takes a hike in the woods, this book will change the way we understand ourselves and the great outdoors., In ?Deep Survival?, Laurence Gonzalez combines hard science and powerful storytelling to illustrate the mysteries of survival, whether in the wilderness or in meeting any of life's great challenges. This gripping narrative, the first book to describe the art and science of survival, will change the way you see the world. Everyone has a mountain to climb. Everyone has a wilderness inside.

A wake up call. Use your common sense, don't try to be hero hot shot and think about the results and the long term.
This book is about people who did stupid things. In other words they should have known better. But they ignored common sense and they and others got hurt or died. Also this book is about people who did well in difficult situations because they used common sense instead of following stupid rules. While this book is mostly about life threatening situations, it can be translated to the size of the mortgage you take out, the school you send your kids to and so many other details of everyday life that can help or hurt you and your family.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
