    <![CDATA[<blockquote> How to Wrestle Free from an Alligator: 4. If its jaws are closed on something you want to remove (for example, a limb), tap or punch it on the snout. </blockquote><p> Though it's being marketed as a humorous title--after all, it's unlikely you'll be called upon to land a plane, jump from a motorcycle to a moving car, or win a swordfight--the information contained in <em>The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook</em> is all quite sound. Authors Joshua Piven and David Borgenicht consulted numerous experts in their fields (they're cited at the end of the book) to discover how to survive various and sundry awful events. Parachute doesn't open? Your best bet for survival is to hook your arms through the straps of a fellow jumper's chute--and even then you're likely to dislocate both shoulders and break both legs. Car sinking in water? Open the window immediately to equalize pressure, then open the car door and swim to the surface. Buried in an avalanche? Spit on the snow--it will tell you which direction is really up. Then dig as fast as you can. <p>Each survival skill is explained in simple steps with helpful illustrations. Most stress the need to be prepared--both mentally and physically. For example, to escape from quicksand, you will need to lay a pole on the surface of the quicksand, flop on your back atop the pole, and pull your legs out one by one. No pole? No luck. &quot;When walking in quicksand country, carry a stout pole--it will help you get out should you need to.&quot;<p> Hopefully you'll never need to know how to build a fire without matches, perform a tracheotomy, or treat a bullet wound. But in the words of survival evasion resistance escape instructor &quot;Mountain&quot; Mel Deweese, &quot;You never know.&quot; <em>--Sunny Delaney</em></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Be very, very afraid. When you step through your door for an innocent excursion, grave danger awaits. You might be mugged; tied up; attacked by scorpions, piranhas, or tarantulas; trapped in a falling plane or elevator, a runaway train, a car on a cliff, a sandstorm, a riptide, or a riot. But now it's safe to take that vacation anyway. Just pack <em>The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Travel</em>, and you'll know what to do when you find yourself, say, leaping between rooftops: &quot;Because you will not be moving fast, it is safe to roll head over heels, unlike jumping from a moving vehicle.&quot; Now you'll also know what <em>not</em> to do: never pick up a tarantula, as the spines on their abdomens are like little harpoons, and don't yank the reins of a runaway camel (&quot;Pulling on the nose reins can tear the camel's nose--or break the reins&quot;). You may have the sense, if a leech invades your air passage, to gargle with a 50 percent solution of 80-proof alcohol--but without this book, would you remember not to inhale? <p>  In short, this is the most delightfully terrifying, all-true, laugh-out-loud hilarious book since the original <em>Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook</em>, which covers such horrors as alligators and quicksand. Don't leave home without it! <em>--Tim Appelo</em>	 </p>]]>

    <![CDATA[I felt, intuitively, that luck exists. It&#8217;s like capitalism: For better or for <br/>worse, and whether you believe in it or not, luck is inescapable. &#8212;from <em>As Luck Would Have It</em><br/><br/>While cowriting the books in the <em>Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook</em> series, Joshua Piven came across dozens of people with tremendously compelling stories of triumph (or misfortune), seemingly against all odds and logic. When they were asked what they had in common, invariably their answer was: good luck, or not enough of it. The beneficiary of his own brand of extraordinary luck in publishing, Piven decided to take a closer look at how this phenomenon plays a part in success and survival.<br/><br/><em>As Luck Would Have It</em> offers a fascinating survey of the phenomenon, presented through incredible first-     person stories: the swimming pool repairman who had only a hundred-dollar bill to pay for his hot dog, asked for his change in lottery tickets, and won $180 million; the woman who survived a plane crash at sea; the teller who was struck by lightning while at his window inside the bank; the guy who invented the Pet Rock. Weaving the subjects&#8217; own beliefs about their experiences with compelling research on chance, probability, and luck psychology, <em>As Luck Would Have It</em> also includes research on how to prepare for luck, how to deal with it when it arrives, and how to make the choices that will help us benefit from luck.<br/><br/>Mesmerizing, by turns hilarious and harrowing, <em>As Luck Would Have It</em> offers a series of scenarios that are at once unimaginable and vividly real.<br/><br/><br/><em>From the Hardcover edition.</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p><strong>What do a stand-up comedian, an extreme skier, a Navy SEAL, a minor league pitcher, a wilderness doctor, and a circus clown have in common?</strong></p> <p><strong>They are Escape Artists!</strong></p>   <p>For nine years, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author Joshua Piven has been tracking down and interviewing alligator wrestlers, race car drivers, giant octopus hunters, animal trackers, and treasure hunters. What drives these escape artists to make job choices that are extraordinary, dangerous, or just plain wacky? They don't &#8220;drop out&#8221;; they embrace self-fulfillment and personal freedom as they craft a life on the road less traveled-and show all of us how to pursue our own dreams&#8230;if we dare.</p>  <p>By following their journeys, you'll learn how you might be able to become an escape artist yourself-and leave the cubicle behind. You'll see how these intrepid adventurers avoided the trap of a job they hated; navigated the issues of money, security, and safety nets; and knew when to make the crucial leap to a better and more enjoyable career.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[The authors of the phenomenally best-selling <em>Worst-Case Scenario Survival</em> series have taught millions to prepare for the worst but how can readers be sure they're really ready? <em>The Worst-Case Scenario Book of Survival Questions</em> collects hundreds of survival dilemmas and questions designed to test true survival skill and daring. Fifty percent longer than the handbooks, this challenging, interactive, and informative book is packed with survival trivia, expert tips, adventurous situations, and illustrations. Your car is careening toward a 20-foot drop into a river: do you leap from the car immediately, or wait to swim free once it begins to sink? Is it worse to be lost in the jungle during the day or in the desert at night? If you had to perform an emergency tracheotomy, where would you make the incision? In hundreds of multiple-choice quizzes, story problems, and questions, <em>The Worst-Case Scenario Book of Survival Questions</em> provides need-to-know answers to life's unexpected turns for the worst. Also included is a Worst-Case Scenario Aptitude Test (WCSAT), which can be scored at home to ensure optimum readiness. Don't wait until it's too late!]]>

    <![CDATA[In May 2001, billionaire Dennis Tito made history as the first &quot;space tourist&quot; he's the guy who paid $20 million to travel to the International Space Station. Since that landmark voyage, many others have followed in his footsteps all courtesy of Space Adventures, the first travel agency devoted exclusively to outer space. <p>But before you can blast off, there's plenty to learn. In this illustrated handbook, Space Adventures CEO Eric Anderson gives would-be space tourists the exact same training program that he gives to the billionaires. Here are step-by-step instructions for liftoff, sleeping in weightless environments, using the &quot;vacuum toilet&quot; on the spacecraft, living in zero gravity, and much more. It's all so informative, the instructors at Space Adventures are already integrating this handbook into their lesson plans. <p>With more than 25 illustrations (and a special full-color section showing popular vacation &quot;destinations&quot;), <em>The Space Tourist's Handbook</em> is fascinating reading for amateur astronauts of all ages.</p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Just the thought of &quot;going green&quot; can make you feel blue. Trying to live sustainably sounds like a whole lot of work and a whole lot of deprivation. Well, Josh Piven aims to both shrink your carbon footprint and soothe your eco-anxiety. In a guidebook that's as funny as it is practical, Piven shows you how to green every room of the house—and have a good time doing it. Projects range from the playful (raising trout in your swimming pool) all the way to big-time, serious home alterations (installing a root cellar) that will have your neighbors green with envy. Don't fret if you're not a natural wrench-turner: Most of Piven's suggestions are inexpensive, totally approachable, and accompanied by clear illustrations. <em>This Green House</em> is likely to be the most entertaining homeowner's manual you've ever used.]]>

    <![CDATA[Forget quicksand and shark attacks, child-rearing is the truly terrifying  activity. A screaming baby on an airplane, no diapers (!), monsters hiding in  the closet, a long family car trip, the first date--these are the high-risk  adventures you need to survive. Fortunately, the authors of the phenomenally  best-selling Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series now keep parents safe,  from cradle to teens. Hands-on, step-by-step instructions show you how to remove  objects stuck in a child's nose or gum stuck in hair, and how to survive endless  soccer games, slumber parties, and sleep deprivation. From baby-proofing the  house to dealing with a dead pet, from the perils of the play-date to explaining  about the birds and the bees, this essential guide tells parents what to really  expect when your worst-case scenario is all in the family. ]]>
