Description
Danger! It lurks at every corner. Volcanoes. Sharks. Mountain lions. Quicksand. Terrorists. The pilot of the plane blacks out and it's up to you to land the jet. What do you do? The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook is here to help survive the most harrowing predicaments: jam-packed with how-to, hands-on, step-by-step, instructions on everything you need to know fast--from detecting a bomb to delivering a baby in the back of a cab. Providing frightening and funny real information, this indispensable guide is the definitive handbook for those times when life takes a sudden turn for the worse. The essential companion for a perilous age. Because you never know... The authors have appeared on 20/20, Today, National Enquirer TV, as well as in Time, USA Today, The New Yorker, People, Forbes, The Washington Post, Glamour and Entertainment Weekly.
A perfect gag gift for worrywarts, this bestseller presents real solutions to various (mostly improbable) crises. The fun comes from flipping through it until an entry or illustration catches your eye. The authors seem to have intended it less as a real reference than as a tongue-in-cheek comment on the ilk. On tape, one cannot flip through. There's not much fun in just turning it on at the beginning and switching it off at the end--especially as read by Burt Reynolds. Not only is he obviously sight-reading without much comprehension, but he is doing so irritatingly thick-tongued. A quick and dirty job exploiting the popularity of the print original. Y.R.
