Requests:  0 Summary:  "History is the most dangerous place on earth. From dinosaurs the size of locomotives to meteors big enough to sterilize the planet, from famines to pandemics, from tornadoes to the Chicxulub asteroid, the odds of human survival are slim but not zero-at least, not if you know where to go and what to do. In each chapter of How to Survive History, Cody Cassidy explores how to survive one of history's greatest threats: getting eaten by dinosaurs, being destroyed by the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, succumbing to the lava flows of Pompeii, being devoured by the Donner Party, drowning during the sinking of the Titanic, falling prey to the Black Death, and more. Using hindsight and modern science to estimate everything from how fast you'd need to run to outpace a T. rex to the advantages of different body types in surviving the Donner Party tragedy, Cassidy gives you a detailed battle plan for survival, helping you learn about the era at the same time. History may be the most dangerous place on earth, but that doesn't mean you can't visit. You can, and you should. And with a copy of How to Survive History in your back pocket, you just might make it out alive"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books 904 Ca Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 904 Ca Checked out 06/21/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult New Books 904 Ca Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books 904 Ca Checked out 07/07/2024 Add Copy to MyList Lanai P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 904 Ca Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 904 Ca Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 904 Ca Checked out 07/10/2024 Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 904 Ca Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
