  This is the ultimate guide to survival: in the wilderness, in the city, in planes, in cars and in the home. How to stay alive in every dangerous situation? This title contains over 550 colour illustrations showing techniques, tactics and tricks of the trade, and 80 step-by-step training projects for extreme life skills to use in emergencies.

The second section focuses on how to ensure personal safety when everyday situations become life-threatening, including hostage situations, counter-terrorism techniques, self-defence against personal attacks, how to act when a tourist, and how to deal with car hijacking and road rage, house fires, transport accidents and medical emergencies.
