Book ID/图书代码： 14780008B23123
English Summary/英文概要： With its towering mountains, sun-scorched deserts, fierce wildlife, and hard-to-predict weather, the American West ranks among the most forbidding places on Earth. Yet many are drawn to the beauty of this wild and rugged region. Some are daredevils…some are athletes…and some are outdoors enthusiasts who find themselves in a chilling battle for survival. In their extraordinary, heart-stopping true stories, you will discover how much can go wrong when people find themselves caught in the cross-hairs of nature’s power…
Dare To Survive
Flash floods, plane crashes, animal attacks, avalanches, landslides—these devastating phenomena all too often claim the lives of men, women, and children in the American West. But some beat the odds, living to tell about their terrifying ordeals. There are inspirational stories of extreme survival and tremendous bravery. Of the hiker who—though armed with only a knife—survived a 30-minute nightmare with a cougar…of the backcountry snowboarder buried alive by an avalanche, saved with only minutes to spare…of the outdoorsman pinned by an 800-pound boulder who freed himself by amputating his own arm. And there are the unexplainable, senseless tragedies—the little girl whose mysterious disappearance at a national park was never solved… the inexperienced charter pilot who crashed trying to beat curfew in a snowstorm…and the veteran backwoods camper who, despite every precaution, fell victim to a fatal bear attack.
What does it take to endure the impossible? Dare to Survive tackles that question as it vividly reminds us that when danger strikes, survival becomes the ultimate human challenge.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 崇山峻岭、炙热沙漠、野生动物凶猛残忍、天气状况难以预测，这些因素使美国西部成为世界最危险的地方。然而，仍然有很多人为此地着迷。当中有人天生胆大，有的是运动员，还有些是户外运动的爱好者，他们在求生搏斗中找寻自我。在他们这些非比寻常、扣人心弦的故事中，你将发现人们为自然力量所困时的情形有多么险峻。
《勇于生存》
山洪暴发、飞机失事、动物袭击、雪崩、山崩——这些灾害经常夺去生活在美国西部居民的生命。但有人克服万难生存下来，讲诉他们所经历的极大痛苦。有些发人深省的故事是关于大难不死和勇气：一位只带一把刀子傍身的徒步旅行者与美洲豹搏斗30分钟得以幸存；一位滑雪者在边远地区被雪崩活埋，在距离死亡几分钟时被救活；一位户外活动者被800磅的大石压得动弹不得，割下一条手臂保全生命。还有些是关于不可解释的悲剧：一个小女孩在国家公园里神秘失踪，从此下落不明；一位经验不足的飞行员在暴风雪的夜里驾驶，不幸撞机；经验丰富的野营者在边远地区遭熊袭击身亡。
如何面对极度的困难？《勇于生存》作出了回答，它一再提醒我们：当危险来临，生存是人类最大的挑战。(ly)
