Paperback. Condición: Good. Discover how human beings react to danger-and what makes the difference between life and death Today, nine out of ten Americans live in places at significant risk of earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, terrorism, or other disasters. Tomorrow, some of us will have to make split-second choices to save ourselves and our families. How will we react? What will it feel like? Will we be heroes or victims? In her quest to answer these questions, award-winning journalist Amanda Ripley traces human responses to some of recent history's epic disasters, from the explosion of the Mont Blanc munitions ship in 1917-one of the biggest explosions before the invention of the atomic bomb-to the journeys of the 15,000 people who found their way out of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. To understand the science behind the stories, Ripley turns to leading brain scientists, trauma psychologists, and other disaster experts. She even has her own brain examined by military researchers and experiences, through realistic simulations, what it might be like to survive a plane crash into the ocean or to escape a raging fire. Ripley comes back with precious wisdom about the surprising humanity of crowds, the elegance of the brain's fear circuits, and the stunning inadequacy of many of our evolutionary responses. Most unexpectedly, she discovers the brain's ability to do much, much better-with just a little help.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. This illustrated guide details everything you need to know in order to survive when the grid goes down or disaster (natural or man-made) strikes. If there?s one thing John Wayne admired, it was someone who could stand on their own two feet and take care of themselves no matter what the day might bring. In his films, he played everything from explorers of the western frontier to self-sufficient men who understood how best to handle even the worst disasters that nature or man could throw at them. The value of these skills, and the ability to stand on one?s own two feet, not matter what happens, wasn?t lost on Duke, who valued individualism and self-reliance above all else. With that in mind, the editors of The Official John Wayne Collector?s Edition Magazine are proud to publish The Official John Wayne Handy Book of Emergency Preparedness ? just the thing you need to ensure the safety of yourself and your family should disaster strike. The book includes 100 tips and techniques for prepping your home and family for disaster, whether it be natural or manmade, surviving at home when sheltering in place is the best option, or bugging out and hitting the road when it?s not. Inside, you'll find detailed step by step guidelines for: - Preparing your mind for conflict - Finding or building medical supplies - Administering first aid - Mitigating the effects of disaster on morale and boredom - Finding and storing food for the long haul - Finding, storing and purifying water - Cooking when you haven?t any gas or electricity - Heating your home or staying warm wherever you are - Cooling your home or warding off the heat wherever you are - Bugging out with the right equipment and surviving on the road - Home defence planning. The book is written by Check Freedman, an active U.S. special operative, and Billy Jensen, a former Green Beret. They are the founders of Captive Audience Prevention Training and Recovery Team and the authors of Survival Ready and The Official John Wayne Handy Book of Bushcraft. Their expertise and wealth of first-hand experience ensures that The Official John Wayne Handy Book of Emergency Preparedness has all the information you need to prepare for whatever may come with confidence and skill.
