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.

When Sylvain Tesson left the colorful yellow houses of the French Riveria for a ski trek across the Alps with his friend Daniel du Lac, a high-altitude mountain guide, he didn't know what exactly would await him. Over the course of four years, from 2018 to 2021, they ascended high into the Alps in winter, following the curve of the mountains from the Mediterranean to the Adriatic, entering into a white world entirely of snow, bitterly cold, and overlooked by an empty sky; only the effort of moving forward, one stride at a time, separated the days from one another. He thought he was venturing into beauty but he was immersing himself in a substance. In the white of the high Alps all is canceled out—hopes, fears, memories, and regrets. What did he stand to gain by inflicting this ordeal on himself? This was no ordinary mountain trek: it was communion with a substance. Perhaps his longtime dream of transforming travel into prayer would come true at last.

The delightfully comic account of a British couple and their imported cats starting over in a new country continues in Bucket to Greece Volume 4. The atmosphere is tense in the Bucket household, with Barry and Cynthia, or specifically Cynthia and her vile mutant cat, having outstayed their welcome. The race is on for them to find somewhere to live before their imminent wedding. Harold's house has potential, but Barry needs Victor's help to take advantage of the obnoxious Brit. 
 
 
 
With chickens to tend and local politics to break into, Victor discovers retirement offers little time for lazing about. He takes to the sea, repping on the lazy day cruise in the company of the ouzo loving Kapetanios Vasos and his mute sidekick Sami, and crams up on Greek aphrodisiacs to prepare for a gastronomic excursion. Victor schemes to rid the house of superfluous kittens, hatches a plot to ensure the local taverna isn't turned into a tourist attraction, and lends a hand with the search when Spiros' uncle Leo goes on the missing list. Spiros, courting the fragrant Sampaguita, introduces her to the exciting ex-pat scene of inedible foreign dinners; Milton is targeted by vanity publishing scammers, and a stubborn sheep stalks the streets of Meli.
