Danger! It lurks at every corner. Quicksand. Sharks. Cyberbullies. Super-Flu. From wrestling an alligator to evading drones to landing a plane if the pilot passes out, The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook is here to help with expert, illustrated, step-by-step instructions for life's sudden turns for the worst. Needed now more than ever, this revised and expanded edition—published on the international bestseller's 20th anniversary—delivers frightening and funny real advice readers need to know fast. With crucial information added from across the Worst-Case series and 20 all-new scenarios for twenty-first century threats (extreme weather, "fake news," dropping a cell phone in the toilet), this action-packed hardcover handbook brings emergency instruction for anxious times.
With over 9 million copies worldwide, the Worst-Case Scenario series has been preparing readers for dangers of all kinds for more than a decade. This handsome large-format hardcover compendium is truly the ultimate guide for handling life's inevitable Worst-Case Scenarios, collecting, for the first time, hundreds of the best and most crucial scenarios from across the entire 36 book series, along with dozens of all-new and expanded scenarios, charts and expert tips. Topical, tabloid-style pages explore more than 100 subjects, from storms to stampedes to technology failures and beyond, with special sections highlighting crucial information on starting fires, animal encounters, emergency signals, 'Can I eat that?' questions, and more. Packed with expert advice and sturdy enough to stop a tiger bite, this tome will keep longtime fans and new initiates safe and entertained in equal measure.
Covering the range of romantic and relationship perils, it's a bedside bible of expert advice that will keep readers amused and disaster-free in equal measure, with chapters on Defensive Dating, First Impressions, On the Date, Getting It On, Relationship Survival Skills, It's Over (Let's Be Friends), Wallowing, Moving On, and Tying the Knot, and with an appendix of pickup lines to avoid (or use), useful excuses, guide to body language, an 'It's Not You, It's Me' letter template, and more.
