Extreme Encounters - Greg Emmanuel

Your are planning your journey and sitting there wondering what could go wrong, well....  Don't be put of by this book, these really are extreme encounters, but if you are a squemish type or put of by the sight of blood this book may not be for you.  If you have ever wondered what it may be like to be swallowed by quicksand, struck by lightning or stung by jellyfish then this is just the book for you.

Extreme Encounters describes these scenarios and 37 more calamitous encounters with endlessly addictive "you-are-there" second-person narratives - so you chill to the numbing effects of frostbite, you hear the 110-decibel roar of a grizzly bear, and you feel the stomach-lurching drop of an elevator freefall. This is no survival guide - it's a moment-by-moment, blow-by-blow account of what is happening to you physically, emotionally, and scientifically.

Armchair adventurers can learn what it feels like to go right to the edge - and to be able to return.
