An absorbing, fast-paced, and comprehensive guide to surviving in the
wild, with a particular focus on the animals you might encounter-and
want to avoid!-while you're there. Whether you're lost in the mountains,
stranded the desert, or adrift at sea, if you've read this book, you
might just have a fighting chance at staying alive. Vivid photos, maps
and other colorful graphics provide plenty to inspire armchair
explorers. Chapters cover survival at sea, on a Pacific island, in the
Outback, the Sahara Desert, the Amazon Rain forest, Polar wilderness,
and in the Rocky Mountains. Readers are provided with information on
what to do first, the key rules for survival, the animals in each
habitat, and how to signal for help. Feature pages highlight real-life
survivors who escaped these harsh environments to inspire young
explorers.
