entertaining and informative book is packed with stories of extreme
human endurance throughout history. Read about amazing escapologist
Harry Houdini, arctic explorer Ernest Shackleton, the crew of Apollo 13,

and the people who survived getting lost in the wilderness. This book
also contains lots of bizarre information about people who'll do
anything to get into the record books - having the longest fingernails
ever has its drawbacks!
