From the sun-scorched sands of the Kalahari to the snake-infested jungles of the Amazon, Les Stroud has made a life of surviving in the harshestâ€”and most remoteâ€”regions on Earth. Now, the creator, producer, and host of the hit television program Survivorman transfers his decades of knowledge and experience to the pages of Survive!, a practical guide that gives everyday readers a no-nonsense look at the real world of survival. Stroud offers readers the essential skills and tactics necessary to endure in any corner of the globe, along with a wealth of insider information born of his own experiences in the outdoors and unavailable in any other book. Readers will learn: <ul>
<li>How to make a survival shelter and why a lean-to is largely a waste of time.</li> <li>Why survival kits are important, and why you should make your own.</li> <li>Where to find water and why drinking contaminated water is sometimes warranted.</li> <li>How to locate and trap small animals and why the notion of tracking and hunting large game is largely a pipe dream.</li> </ul>
 Whether seasoned in the outdoor arts or new to adventuring, all readers will learn something from Survive!. Stroud's many colorful anecdotes and cut-to-the-chase philosophy not only make for an entertaining read, but also enhance anyone's ability to focus on the main goal when everything else has gone wrongâ€”survival.

From minor injuries to major emergencies a knowledge of first aid can really help the victim—and with Collins Gem First Aid you can have that knowledge in a compact and portable form. Collins Gem First Aid is clear, informative, and user-friendly. It covers a wide variety of injuries and conditions, and enables even the most inexperienced person to provide victims with immediate preliminary aid. Emergency situations require immediate action and the inexperienced first aider can easily find him—or herself at a loss to know what to do. This book has been designed to help the first aider cope with such situations. Major injuries are clearly distinguished from minor ones; guides to action are distinguished from explanatory information; and dos and don'ts are clearly marked, so that even the lay person can, at a glance, know what to look for and ensure that the best possible preliminary treatment is given to the victim. From removing splinters to coping with heart attacks, from treating headaches to dealing with victims with suspected spinal fractures, Collins Gem First Aid will be an invaluable companion in the home, office or when traveling. The text shown in colored panels gives step by step instructions of what to do when a particular injury or condition is encountered. Each set of instructions is accompanied by photographs and diagrams. The text not in colored panels provides explanatory information about the injuries and conditions, including causes, diagnostic features, and information on how the body functions. Key information is highlighted by symbols.
