Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Whether you're visiting a politically unstable country, hiking in a remote region, or find yourself in an unexpectedly dire situation in the course of your more "standard" travels, knowing how best to react can be the difference between life and death. To say nothing of the brownie points you'll earn from fellow survivors for your stellar new rope-tying abilities.
With the all-new Rough Guide to Travel Survival on hand, you'll never be at a loss for practical information on how to deal with the worst that the sun, sleet, and sea serve up. This slim, information-packed volume is indispensable for every adventurous traveler, aid worker, or foreign correspondent whether you're trekking through the 6% of the world covered in rainforest or are forging through a distinctly more urban jungle and need to spot scams and thwart pickpockets. From avoiding and treating altitude sickness to building an A-frame to eating ants, this bountiful book - the latest from acclaimed travel writer Doug Lansky - has got you covered, come hell or high water.
About the Author
Adventure travel writer Doug Lansky has tried to avoid unnecessary risks while covering stories over the last ten years in 100+ countries. That said, he has been in a bus accident in Namibia, had an indigenous rainforest dweller in Colombia put a machete to his head at 3am, and been run over by a car in Thailand. Which is to say he has much wisdom to share on the all-too-timely subject of travel survival. Currently a resident of Sweden, Doug is the author of two other Rough Guides titles: First-Time Around the World and First-Time Europe
