Corwin, an adventurer, television producer, and children's book author, presents an entertaining, simply-written guide to surviving in some of the wilder places in the world. Written more to inspire adventurism rather than as a serious survival guide, this work nonetheless is filled with useful tips on sleeping in jungles, fighting off polar bears, and the intricacies of peeing in very extreme environments. Accompanied by hundreds of beautiful photographs, this young adult guide based in part on the BBC series Serious Survival is sure to please any young adventurer.
