Summary

Survival Facts explores the science behind human resilience in extreme environments, offering both practical survival skills and insights into the psychology of enduring life-threatening situations. The book highlights how understanding physiological responses to stress, like how the body regulates temperature in extreme heat or cold, can be crucial for survival. It also emphasizes that mental preparedness is just as vital as physical skills, demonstrating how a positive mindset can significantly impact one's ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with core survival concepts such as hydration and basic first aid. Then, it delves into specific environments like deserts, arctic regions, oceans, and jungles, detailing tailored survival strategies for each. Real-life survival stories illustrate successful and unsuccessful adaptations, providing tangible examples of the principles discussed.

 
By blending scientific explanations with practical tips and compelling narratives, Survival Facts offers a unique and valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of survival, adventure travel, or emergency preparedness.

    Grief, joy and spilled rum at the world's death festivals
By the time Erica Buist's father-in-law Chris was discovered, upstairs in his bed, his book resting on his chest, he had been dead for over a week. Erica searched for answers (the artery-clogging cheeses in his fridge?) and tried to reason with herself (does daughter-in-law even feature in the grief hierarchy?) and eventually landed on an inevitable, uncomfortable truth: everybody dies.
With Mexico's Day of the Dead festivities as a starting point, she decided to confront death head on by visiting seven death festivals around the world – one for every day they didn't find Chris. From Mexico to Nepal, Sicily, Thailand, Madagascar, Japan and finally Indonesia – with a stopover in New Orleans, where the dead outnumber the living ten to one – Erica searched for the answers to both fundamental and unexpected questions around death anxiety.
This Party's Dead is the account of her journey to understand how other cultures deal with mortal terror, how they move past the knowledge that they're going to die in order to live happily day-to-day, how they celebrate rather than shy away from the topic of death – and how when this openness and acceptance are passed down through the generations, death suddenly doesn't seem so scary after all.

    Train travel is having a renaissance. Grand old routes that had been canceled, or were moldering in neglect, have been refurbished as destinations in themselves. The Rocky Mountaineer, the Orient Express, and the Trans-Siberian Railroad run again in all their glory. 
		 
Pamela Mulloy has always loved train travel. Whether returning to the Maritimes every year with her daughter on the Ocean, or taking her family across Europe to Poland, trains have been a linchpin of her life. As COVID locked us down, Mulloy began an imaginary journey that recalled the trips she has taken, as well as those of others. Whether it was Mary Wollstonecraft traveling alone to Sweden in the late 1700s, or the incident that had Charles Dickens forever fearful of trains, or the famous actress Sarah Bernhardt trapped in her carriage in a midwestern blizzard in the 1890s, or Sir John A. Macdonald’s wife daring to cross the Rockies tied to the cowcatcher at the front of the train, the stories explore the odd mix of adventure and contemplation that travel permits. 
		 
Thoughtful, observant, and fun, Off the Tracks is the perfect blend of research and personal experience that, like a good train ride, will whisk you into another world.
