The book is in high quality paper and nice coloured. The structure is logical and in the right chronological order. The captures are fullfilled with tips and tricks how to survive different situations - but then not so deeply explained as well as a book can. Because of the many themes in one capture there is not so many place for details. More importet things are not integrated like some situations had been occured in NewOrleans after Hurrican Cathrina. Surely there is one capital about nature threaths and hurricans especially. But only the science structure of hurricans and where to flee it is to less in my opinion. As same as it descriped in the naturally food area. There are many poison plants descriped and with color picture which you should avoid to eat but who will eat anknown plants at all eccept of suicide murders and childreen? Instead of these detailed kinds of themes the writer had have to be more detailed in capitals like terrorism, anti crime investigation and people crises like after big catastrophys. People are so stupid(selfish) if they think they're life is in danger. Some help in these areas as well in some others(e.g. get some food and water in crisis, behavior at riods, etc.) were more suitable as some other themes. But at all this is in the responsibility of the writer and John "Lofty" Wiseman did "his" choice. For a little overview the book is the first and best I had been reading of its kindness. For detailed information at the specific sectors of survival you have to read detailed lecture e.g. from the home safe departmend as well as the military or urban survival specialists e.g. Greetings from Germany.
