Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

The format is approximately 5.625 inches by 7.25 inches. 508, [4] pages. Illustrations (some with color). Includes CD. Cover has sticker stating You Survived the Meaningful Use Summit! The worst of the worst, all in one place! This deluxe desk reference includes the most popular scenarios from all 11 Worst-Case Scenario handbooks. Avoid the perils of: Mountain lions; Blind dates; Avalanches; Teenage driving lessons; Runaway golf carts; Christmas turkeys on fire. A remedy for every crisis the worst-case experts have anticipated is now only a click away. Boasting more than 500 pages, this sturdy hardbound addition to the Worst-Case Scenario library could stop a bullet--just one more way to be prepared for the worst! Josh Piven is a New York Times best-selling writer; an award-winning speechwriter; a television writer and producer; a playwright; and the author or co-author of more than twenty-five non-fiction and humor books, including the worldwide best-selling Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series (Chronicle Books). Worst-Case is the best-selling survival manual--and series--of all time. Based on both pop-culture and Piven's own vast stores of paranoia, the advice in the books, while real, is filled with wit and wry humor. David Borgenicht is the creator and co-author of the best-selling Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook series. He is also the author of dozens of other books, including The Star Trek Book of Opposites and How to Con Your Kid. He is the president and publisher of Quirk Books, Philadelphia-based publishers of entertaining, informative, and amusing fiction and non-fiction. Worst-Case Scenario is the name of a series of merchandise based on a 1999 book written by Joshua Piven and David Borgenicht and published by Chronicle Books. The series first entry, The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook, sold copies worldwide and prompted a series of related books, games, calendars, and two television series. Later works have been published via Quirk Books and have been credited with giving the company enough funding to expand. A worst-case scenario is the most severe possible outcome that can be projected to occur in a given situation. Conceiving of worst-case scenarios is a common form of strategic planning to prepare for and minimize contingencies that could result in accidents, quality problems, or other issues. The books provide instructions for situations like landing a plane and surviving a shark attack. There have been two television series that have been based on the book series, a 2002 TBS reality show and a 2010 survival skills television series on the Discovery Channel. The show Worst Case Scenarios ran on TBS from July 10, 2002, through November 13, 2002, and had a total of 13 episodes. It was narrated by Mike Rowe and featured demonstrations by stunt men and stunt women. Each episode was hosted by new experts on how to survive worst-case scenarios. It also aired clips of real life situations, tips, volunteer challenges, and gadgets shown by Gear Girl (Danielle Burgio). Worst-Case Scenario ran on the Discovery Channel beginning on May 5, 2010, and had a total of 12 episodes. It was hosted by Bear Grylls, who was shown using skills he learned in the 21 SAS, which included self-defense, evasive driving, parkour, urban survival, and wilderness survival.
