Review

Survival in the mountains may depend on having the correct equipment, a map and food items. This interesting book covers four experiences of people becoming lost while climbing, driving in or flying above the mountains. Each slight entry highlights what made the outcome positive, making survival possible.

One map is included which notes major mountains but fails to tag the location of each survival story. The color photos enhance the presentation and the scrapbook page design is attractive. Some readers may shy away from the details of the Andes Mountain plane crash but everyone will cheer when survivors of all four incidents are found. The author has provided two pages of useful after matter.

Overall Book Score: good
