The pace of urban life is too fast to keep up with. The world is what we made it. If we want to enjoy all of its pleasures, we must be aware of the dangers. It's a jungle out there. The same awareness and readiness that are required when surviving in the wild really are necessary in the city. Everyone is exposed to an enormous number of risks and dangers, which they have to try to cope with on top of all their own personal, health and financial stresses. These range from ordinary domestic accidents to burglary, muggings and even the terrorist threat. Here is the world's best guide for protecting yourself and your family from the dangers of the urban jungle. 9 x 9 1/2, softcover, illus., 320 pages.
