On the verge of possible: the science of survival. Ashcroft A.

One of the most outstanding women-scientific worlds Francis Eshcroft climbed Kilimanjaro and plunged with scuba gear, passed something like “Baptism of Fire” in a hot Japanese baton and even saved the life of a man who ended up in ice water. Her book is not only a fascinating reading and scientific composition, but also a practical guide for survival. And it is possible that it will help you in moments of the highest tension of forces - whether it is about sports, about the attraction or the struggle for life.

everything that the author tells about is familiar to her firsthand. You will learn about the most incredible extreme stories and unpredictable situations from the first lips. In the heat and in the cold, on mountains, where there is almost nothing to breathe, and in the sea depths, where the blood “boils”.
