If you have his number, you'll call this author, John "Lofty" Wiseman.
If you don't, you better have this book.
While this book won't help with actually disposing of the zombies, it will assist tremendously in surviving in the desert/jungle/arctic wilderness you've been driven to in... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Collins
Price: $17.79
Customer Review:
My niece was thrilled with this book. I bought it because kids don't play, explore and/or know how to anymore. As a science teacher I'm constantly telling my students to get outside and get to doing something even just observing stuff around you. Not enough of this is done with video games, cell... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Heart warming account of a man and his dog. Loved the conversations with Merle. For those with dogs you can understand the level of communication that goes on. Only downside is that this is an atypical man/dog relationship in that Merle is allowed (and encouraged) to roam freely through town, etc.... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Having watched and enjoyed Survivorman on the Discovery channel for the past 3 years, I was anxious to get this book and it did not disappoint!

Customer Review:
Readers seem to be rating this book higher as it ages. Informative and humorous, it keeps your attention every minute. Some of the commentary on forest conservation, etc. is discouraging....Let's hope that situation has improved since the book was written, but that's doubtful, given the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I read this book (age 57) when my daughter(age 20) was training to climb Aconcagua and I was petrified. She is a good athlete but had never climbed mountains. A friend recommended it to me. As much as I love the rest of the book, what was most poignant to me was the part about how survivors have a... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

I've been on the lookout for a good little book on survival to use as a text in a class I'm teaching for 7-8 grade students at a local elementary/Jr. High school. I was pleased to find no bad language or "hard edge" military reference. Fine basic information for civillians. Very easy to read for Jr.... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

With a keen and wizened eye for dissecting the world around us, Nicholson draws us into a kaleidoscopic world built on something natural yet ephemeral to all of us.
