Urban Survival Handbook
A necessary and effective manual of urban survival
techniques—
Companion to the SAS Survival
Handbook (over a million copies sold).
John "Lofty" Wiseman is the
author of the bestselling SAS Survival Handbook,
the definitive guide to survival in the wild from Britain's Special Air
Service. Now he has compiled a complete guide to survival in the urban
jungle.
Every year in America there are thousands of fatal accidents
in the home—more than on the roads, and many more than in the great
outdoors. Fire, electricity, water, gas, sharp knives, poisons,
chemicals—these valuable tools can quickly become dangerous weapons when not
treated with proper respect and understanding. Add to these the risks of
travel, terrorism, muggings, rape, tsunamis, and earthquakes. We are
constantly reminded that the world is a dangerous place. Wiseman shows
readers how to think realistically and practically about these perils in
order to avoid them, whether they are at home, on the street, in school, or
in transit. From self-defense techniques to home security systems to coping
with natural disasters, this book will teach readers to recognize risks,
make quick decisions, and live confidently in the modern urban world.
