There are about a million survival books out there. Most of them tell you stuff like what to eat when you are lost in the Brazilian jungle or what cactus to suck in the Gobi desert. Basically, it's all the stuff you see on "Survivorman" and "Man vs. Wild."But, really, how often are you lost in the desert? When was the last time you found yourself wandering Amazon basin? In the United States, most people need to know how to survive in cities and suburbs, not a remote wilderness. Should you face a natural disaster, like a flood or zombie attack, "When All Hell Breaks Loose: Stuff You Need To Survive When Disaster Strikes" can help. And author Cody Lundin's brash, confrontational style makes reading it significantly less dull than an army field guide.
