Description
"What will no doubt become popular airport reading for stranded passengers... another eminently practical, enjoyable survival guide." -- Publishers Weekly If you have to leave home, TAKE THIS BOOK! The team that brought you the bestselling The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook now helps you navigate the perils of travel. Learn what to do when the tarantula crawls up your leg, the riptide pulls you out to sea, the sandstorm's headed your way, or your camel just won't stop. Find out how to pass a bribe, remove leeches, climb out of a well, survive a fall onto subway tracks, catch a fish without a rod, and preserve a severed limb. Hands-on, step-by-step instructions show you how to survive these and dozens of other adventures. An appendix of travel tips, useful phrases, and gestures to avoid will also ensure your safe return. Because you just never know... Praise for the Worst-Case Scenario Survival series "The scenarios owe a debt to action flick clichš -- how often do you find yourself leaping from rooftop to rooftop? -- but their utter implausibility doesn't make this read any less riveting." -- People "What this book lacks in spiritual enlightenment, it more than makes up for with the practical advice you thought you'd never need." -- The Irish Times "There is something for everyone. It has a wide range of scenarios from dangerous to just downright irritating... It is fun, witty, entertaining and you learn something along the way too." -- Quill Quotes"--,Provided by Freading.
