I just finished reading Deep Survival - Who Lives,Who Dies, And Why ISBN 0393052761

Here is a Preview of Deep Survival

According to the publisher: "An analysis of the science and psychology of wilderness survival examines case stories of people who have survived against the odds--or failed to survive despite comparatively better resources--in a volume that evaluates the conditions on a snowy mountaintop, in the ocean, in the jungle, and more."

I couldn't put this book down. It caused me to *really* examine my own beliefs. It was startling to see why some people survived bad situations, when others who were very skilled, did not. I highly recommend this book! Carol

p.s. I thought I had seen another review of this book, but a search of "deep survival" (for the past year) didn't bring up anything. And when I did the search without the quotes, it brought up every post that had the word 'survival' in it, which is a ton!
