Each story is told matter-of-factly, including the occasional grisly detail. The large format of the book itself and the hand-drawn pictures add to the drama. Writer and historian David Long is the author of the acclaimed Animals' VC: For Gallantry and Devotion and more than twenty other non-fiction books on a wide range of historical subjects. Jet the Rescue Dog the first of several titles for younger readers, was published by Faber in 2014. He lives in Suffolk and has two teenage sons. I cant review this book as it was not possible to read it. The print is tiny and there is no option to enlarge it. Im sure its a good book, i just have no way to find out. Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - Eriti põnev oli raamatu algus ning kaks esimest lugu jäid ka kõige eredamalt meelde. Enamik raamatus kirjeldatud intsidentidest olid mulle võõrad. Varem olin kuulnud neist lugudest vaid kahte, mille kangelasteks olid Aron Ralston ja Hugh Glass. Veel tundus tuttavana venelane, kes end opereeris. Esimestele lugudele otsisin internetist materjali juurde, kuid hiljem enam ei viitsinud. Mulle meeldisid väga ka joonistused, mis andsid lugudele palju juurde, kuid ei näidanud koledaid detaile. Järjest sellistest üle noatera pääsemistest lugedes vähenes pinge ning autori stiil tekitas tunnet, et asjad korduvad.

For as long as people have looked for adventure, some have also found danger… And here are the stories of survival, gloriously written by David Long and sublimely illustrated by Kerry Hyndman. I found this book thoroughly fascinating--I love survival stories for the way they focus in on the concrete details of life (food, water, physical ability) and how the survivors use their ingenuity and incredible perseverance to make it--totally inspiring to me.From plane crashes to solitary canyon hikes to scientific expeditions to desert ultramarathons, this book contains an amazing array of brutal and amazing survival stories. The author collected over 20 stories that take place in many places around the world, from various time periods, and with a variety of challenges faced by the survivors. Kõik lood raamatus on põnevad ning judinaid tekitavad. Katsumused on kirja pandud lihtsalt ja kokkuvõtlikult. Ellujäämise nimel on kangelased pidanud näiteks: olema sugulase või sõbra surma tunnistajaks, sööma koeri või nälgima, jooma verd või uriini, alajahtuma või ülekuumenema. Mind üllatas, et paljud lood lõppesid sellega, et tegelased naasesid peale taastumist õnnetuse põhjustanud kohta või tegevuse juurde. From plane crashes to solitary canyon hikes to scientific expeditions to desert ultramarathons, this book contains an amazing array of brutal and amazing survival stories. The author collected over 20 stories that take place in many different locales around the world, from various time periods, and with a variety of challenges faced by the survivors.

Inimestele on vaenlaseks nii loodusjõud, ilmakapriisid, loomad kui ka teised inimesed. Kõige vanem lugu raamatus (1823) on Hugh Glassist, kelle ellujäämisest pajatab ka film "Mees, kes jäi ellu". Kõige hilisem lugu (2014) on Johann Westahuserist, koopauurijast, kes sai Saksamaal koobastikus peatrauma. Johanni päästmisel osales 728 inimest. Igas loos oli midagi õpetlikku. Kõige põhilisem tarkus on matkama või tegelikult üleüldse kuhugi minnes teada anda, kuhu lähed ja millal on sind tagasi oodata. Iga õnnetust küll selle tarkusega ära hoida ei õnnestu. Selleks, et katastroof üle elada, on olulisim endasse uskuda. Just tahtejõud ellu jääda on üks põhifaktoreid, mis oli iga loo kangelasel olemas. Õppisin raamatust veel muuhulgas, et (husky) koerte maksas on palju a-vitamiini ja a-vitamiini üledoos võib viia selleni, et saabas tuleb jalast koos jalatallaga.
