"I'm reading this book with my 13-year-old son. Though my son soaks up some Olbermann and Maddow while I'm watching in the evening it's great to get into issues of surveillance, technology, Homeland Security, arrest, the bill of rights - modern civics...more

| Wow! This book was a lot of fun - lots of near death, grueling survival stories punctuated with data explaining who survives a disaster, how, and why. I read this book in a day. Couldn't put it down. | |

Tending Lives: Nurses on the Medical Front

| This book is HORRIBLE. It's poorly written, sensationalistic, and highly racist - equal opportunity racist, but racist nontheless. It is useless for anyone interested in working in the medical profession. | |
