Bøker av Laurence Gonzales

"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.

In this latest collection from Laurence Gonzales, we go from the top of Mount Washington to 12,000 feet beneath the ocean, where a Naval Intelligence Officer discovers the Titanic using the government's own spy equipment. We experience night assaults with the 82nd Airborne Division, a trip to the International Space Station, and more.
