This author seperates fiction from facts about survival. He provides captivating real stories about survival situations in all the arenas of the world. What people did right and what they did wrong. Above or below water, desert or desert island, jungle, mountains, snow and ice, look here for expert advice covering major threats, hostile environments, science and survival. The author is a physician and well known author in his native France, where this book was a bestseller.

This book is an interesting read with both anecdotes and technical references that keep the reader interested enough to finish it. I came away much better informed of the limits of my body in hostile environments and what I can do to maximize my chances of survival in a real world event. I will note that I have no expertise in survival or medicine, though I've a reasonable understanding of the basics of physics and biology along with a close to the source rural upbringing. Maniguet's book was recommended to me and I recommend it to others.

This book explains in detail all aspects of survival and helps you to understand with real life anecdotes. One of the books that never seems to end. Highly reccomended....it's a small price to pay...
