4.0 out of 5 stars An amusing, and possibly useful, guide to dangerous situations, 30 May 2009
By A. Phillips (West Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book won't keep you amused for too many hours, but it's a pretty good read while it lasts. It is a light-hearted guide to various dangerous situations that might one day come in useful is you're unlucky enough to be faced by one of these problems. It shouldn't be interpretted as a serious factual book, but its advice is based on information supplied by experts, and is factually correct (as far as anything is). The situations covered include natural disasters, dangerous animal attacks, accidents and confontations with humans.

The book is essentially made up of several types of items, each lasting one or two pages:

1) "Worst case dilemma". These are essentially choices between two options in a given situation. The situation and the two options are briefly described (with pros and cons) but there is no right answer, and it's up to the reader to think about it.

2) Dangerous situation questions. A particular situation is described and a multiple choice question is posed. In this case an answer provided by a subject expert is given and explained. None of these are particularly detailed, but it might give you a head start if any of these things were really to happen to you.

3) "Which is your worst case?". This is similar to the worst case dilemma, but the reader is asked to choose between two bad situations, rather than between two options when faced with a particular bad situation. Again, no right or wrong answer is given.

4) "10 things you should know about...". A quick summary of facts about a particular dangerous animal or situation.

5) "What's wrong with this picture?" Pretty much what it sounds like.

6) "What's the worst it could be?" Hints about what to look out for, when a fairly minor issue might turn out to be much more serious. Usually, three possible causes for a trivial-seeming issue are given.

At the end of the book, all of the knowledge is brought together in a 50 question long multiple choice quiz.

All in all, this is a fun book with a serious underlying theme. It's unlikely that any of this information will ever be useful to you, but it's a much more interesting and quick way to learn this stuff without wading through tedious textbooks. This book would also make a great present.
