the best survival book available for an urban environment
There is a lot of overlap with the John Lofty Wiseman's other survival manual, but that's because you need to know a lot of the same things in a crisis situation whether you're in an urban or wilderness situation.

Good Book
I am a novice in this field and I purchased this book for instruction. I was not disappointed and I'm sure that the pages will be well worn by the time I finally put it down. Recommended reading.

Real world advice
As a member of the military who has done some military self defence traning and also a martial arts trainee, this book was excellent. The techniques and advice are straightforward, useful and 'real world'. The only downside is it doesn't come with someone you can practice with (a must to really learn how to apply the techniques instinctively and explosively).

More practical in most extreme situations and environments
Many diagrams and step-by-step instructions for what to do in different situations. This book is probably more useful for the more adventurous type folks, frequent outdoor campers and hikers. About 1/10 of the information in the book can be used for everyday emergencies, like how to carry someone safely over your shoulder. The rest of the book covers things like how to make a raft, making ...

This books tells how to get fit, using circuit training, weight programms (not used for the ...
