The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Travel

How to read The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Travel -- (1) Admit that you probably won't have to navigate a minefield while vacationing in Acapulco or escape a riot at Disney World. There is an outside chance, however, that one day you'll need to foil a mugger, crash land an airplane, or fend for grub in the wild. (2) Realize that you'll inevitably forget these commonsense instructions when you're being mugged, crash landing a plane, or starving in the jungle. (3) Be aware that this sequel to last year's bestseller -- which becomes a TV series in 2002 -- isn't exactly desert island reading material. But it could be an invaluable cocktail party survival tool.
