Now a New York Times best seller!

When the tornado strikes, when the solar flares blaze, when the zombies rise . . . what are you going to do? So many possible disasters, so little time to prepare. The end could be coming any day now, and you've got to be ready for the everyday threats such as an earthquake or hurricane, as well as those "well I didn't see that coming" eventualities like a meteor strike or a killer virus. This all-purpose, A to Z, best-selling guide lays out the survival situations we're all likely to face . . . and a few you really probably won't. With high-quality design, intricate detail, and a durable flexicover--this manual is the perfect gift!

How to Survive Anything deftly balances the survival basics that you really do need to know with the wild and crazy eventualities that you probably don't. But, on the other hand, who do you want in your bunker? The guy who read up killer robots or the one who didn't?
