“Well-written and fascinating . . . this is the kind of book you want everyone to read.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer “Curiosity, awareness, attention,” Laurence Gonzales writes. “Those are the tools of our everyday survival. . . . We all must be scientists at heart or be victims of forces that we don’t understand.” In this fascinating account, Gonzales turns his talent for gripping narrative, knowledge of the way our minds and bodies work, and bottomless curiosity about the world to the topic of how we can best use the blessings of evolution to overcome the hazards of everyday life. Everyday Survival will teach you to make the right choices for our complex, dangerous, and quickly changing world—whether you are climbing a mountain or the corporate ladder.

You have survived the crisis—trauma, disease, accident, or war—now how do you get your life back? A traumatic or near-death experience can change every aspect of the survivor’s being. It can erase the body’s learned adaptations, and in some cases, those who live through such a shock suffer more in the aftermath than they did during the actual crisis. In all cases, they must work hard to reinvent themselves. Combining harrowing tales of survival with lucid explanations of the science behind the body’s reactions to trauma, Surviving Survival offers a valuable and “intriguing argument about the adaptability of the human spirit” (National Geographic Traveler).

A thrilling middle grade survival story about a scuba dive gone wrong and two enemies who must unite to survive. “[A] gripping tale of endurance for young readers.” —Wall Street Journal It’s the most important rule of scuba diving: If you don’t feel right, don’t go down . . . So after her father falls ill miles off the coast of Alabama, twelve-year-old Julie Sims must take over and lead two of his clients on a dive while her father stays behind in the boat. When the clients, a reckless boy around Julie’s age and his equally foolhardy father, disregard Julie’s instructions during the dive, she quickly realizes she’s in over her head. But she has no idea what kind of disaster awaits once she surfaces . . . A Junior Library Guild Selection “[A] fast-paced and . . . action-packed survival story; recommended for fans of Gary Paulson.” —School Library Journal “Key offers plenty of nail-biting suspense in this survival tale about a deep-sea dive off the Alabama coast that goes horribly wrong. . . . The story meticulously details the steps that quick-thinking Julie takes to stay alive.

A memoir of surviving sexual abuse in the Air Force academy. I want to be in the Air Force someday. These are the words Polo Tate engraved on her junior dog tags at age eleven. It was an unpopular dream for most young girls, but her hard work paid off and at age eighteen, Polo started basic training at the United States Air Force Academy. She does everything right, from academics to athletics. But no one prepared her for what came next: physical, sexual, and emotional abuse at the hands of her superiors. Harassment from peers who refused to believe her story. Deep Dark Blue is more than a memoir about sexual assault. It’s about breaking boundaries but also setting them. It's about learning to trust your instincts. It's a story of survival, resilience, and finally, finding your joy.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The place where the landing gear of the plane is meant to touch down is only a few feet away from me. I can see the white foul line shining against the black nonskid deck. I am standing next to the arrival end of a very short runway built onto the deck of the boat. #2 The first lesson is to remain calm in a survival situation. Emotions are called hot cognitions and they go hand in hand with panic. Be cool, and focus on the task at hand. #3 The boundary between life and death is a place of extreme calmness and alertness. Not everyone can stay calm and alert in such a place, and some fail, while others die. #4 The first rule is to face reality. Good survivors aren’t immune to fear, and they know what’s happening. They can’t ignore it, so they must prepare for it. They must laugh at threats, playing and laughing go together.

Declared “the best survival book in a decade” by Outside Magazine, 438 Days is the true story of the man who survived fourteen months in a small boat drifting seven thousand miles across the Pacific Ocean. On November 17, 2012, two men left the coast of Mexico for a weekend fishing trip in the open Pacific. That night, a violent storm ambushed them as they were fishing eighty miles offshore. As gale force winds and ten-foot waves pummeled their small, open boat from all sides and nearly capsized them, captain Salvador Alvarenga and his crewmate cut away a two-mile-long fishing line and began a desperate dash through crashing waves as they sought the safety of port. Fourteen months later, on January 30, 2014, Alvarenga, now a hairy, wild-bearded and half-mad castaway, washed ashore on a nearly deserted island on the far side of the Pacific. He could barely speak and was unable to walk. He claimed to have drifted from Mexico, a journey of some seven thousand miles. A “gripping saga,” (Daily Mail), 438 Days is the first-ever account of one of the most amazing survival stories in modern times. Based on dozens of hours of exclusive interviews with Alvarenga, his colleagues, search-and-rescue officials, the remote islanders who found him, and the medical team that saved his life, 438 Days is not only “an intense, immensely absorbing read” (Booklist) but an unforgettable study of the resilience, will, ingenuity and determination required for one man to survive more than a year lost and adrift at sea.
