Book Overview
Incredible but True Stories of Confronting Death and Emerging Victorious The rock climber who cut off his own arm with a penknife. The hiker who fought off a mountain lion. Passengers who survive the crash of a bush plane in Alaska. We read headlines we sometimes find hard to believe, yet there are on record dozens of such events. Here is a collection of tales from everyday people who faced terrible odds, accidents, extreme weather, wild animals, or severe injury, many describing how they entered another state of consciousness - an "adrenaline high" - to get away alive. Forget reality TV - this is real entertainment for the survival-story fanatic.

Excellent reading!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
True stories written with exciting detail and knowledgeable and logical assessment of how to avoid problems and what to do should you find yourself involved in a dangerous situation. An easy to read book with one true story as engaging as the next! No chapter is without excitement and tips. Even the Introduction is a worthwhile read, which I find unusual. I also enjoyed reading his compliation of true bear stories in Bear Attacks of the Century.
