Product Description:

After a plane crash, a 17 year old girl spends 11 days walking through the Peruvian jungle. Against all odds, with no food, shelter or equipment, she gets out. A better-equipped group of adult survivors of the same crash gave up and died. Laurence Gonzales delves into the science, psychology and art of wilderness survival. Examining stories of miraculous endurance and tragic death, he takes us to the top of snowy mountains and the depths of oceans, to the workings of the brain that control our behaviour.
