Greenback Anthony. A Handbook for Emergencies. Coming Out Alive

Doubleday, 1976. — 205 p.This book is about Survival—survival in situations where average young people are confronted with unexpected dangers. It does not tell you how to be a skilled climber, an outstanding swimmer, or an exceptional athlete; indeed, such people are just as likely as anyone else to succumb to a crisis outside their own limited experience. Their very strength and abilities may tempt them to take risks and make decisions which a more prudent person would recognize as foolish. Similarly, the best equipment can lure one into a false sense of security, since equipment may be damaged or lost. What it does tell you, however, is how to face danger and deal with it in a rational way
