About this deal

Kõik lood raamatus on põnevad ning judinaid tekitavad. Katsumused on kirja pandud lihtsalt ja kokkuvõtlikult. Ellujäämise nimel on kangelased pidanud näiteks: olema sugulase või sõbra surma tunnistajaks, sööma koeri või nälgima, jooma verd või uriini, alajahtuma või ülekuumenema. Mind üllatas, et paljud lood lõppesid sellega, et tegelased naasesid peale taastumist õnnetuse põhjustanud kohta või tegevuse juurde. Well-received by reviewers and readers alike, David Long's engaging, imaginative and well-informed books reflect an unquenchable thirst for those events and personalities that illuminate the past. These have been translated into more than two dozen languages and won multiple awards.

The only problem with this book is that it fails to cite its sources. I have no idea where the author got his facts, and that is really disappointing. I will have to research some of these stories before I feel like I can recommend this book in good conscious.Eelmise aasta sisse mahtus veel selline huvitav teos nagu David Long "Eluga pääsenud". Raamatus on hulganisti lugusid inimestest, kes on üle elanud ekstreemseid olukordi ja kirjeldamatuid õudusi ning neist välja tulnud. I love this book. The copy I have is large bound, filled with artistic color and imagery that feeds the imagination. The text was obviously thought out and the writing has a smooth, excellent style. Igas loos oli midagi õpetlikku. Kõige põhilisem tarkus on matkama või tegelikult üleüldse kuhugi minnes teada anda, kuhu lähed ja millal on sind tagasi oodata. Iga õnnetust küll selle tarkusega ära hoida ei õnnestu. Selleks, et katastroof üle elada, on olulisim endasse uskuda. Just tahtejõud ellu jääda on üks põhifaktoreid, mis oli iga loo kangelasel olemas. Õppisin raamatust veel muuhulgas, et (husky) koerte maksas on palju a-vitamiini ja a-vitamiini üledoos võib viia selleni, et saabas tuleb jalast koos jalatallaga. Eriti põnev oli raamatu algus ning kaks esimest lugu jäid ka kõige eredamalt meelde. Enamik raamatus kirjeldatud intsidentidest olid mulle võõrad. Varem olin kuulnud neist lugudest vaid kahte, mille kangelasteks olid Aron Ralston ja Hugh Glass. Veel tundus tuttavana venelane, kes end opereeris. Esimestele lugudele otsisin internetist materjali juurde, kuid hiljem enam ei viitsinud. Mulle meeldisid väga ka joonistused, mis andsid lugudele palju juurde, kuid ei näidanud koledaid detaile. Järjest sellistest üle noatera pääsemistest lugedes vähenes pinge ning autori stiil tekitas tunnet, et asjad korduvad. From plane crashes to solitary canyon hikes to scientific expeditions to desert ultramarathons, this book contains an amazing array of brutal and amazing survival stories. The author collected over 20 stories that take place in many places around the world, from various time periods, and with a variety of challenges faced by the survivors.

Secondary Year 6 leavers - Covid-safe transition activities and ideas It's been a chaotic year but Year 6 children still deserve the best ending to their primary journey LoveReading4Kids exists because books change lives, and buying books through LoveReading4Kids means you get to change the lives of future generations, with 25% of the cover price donated to schools in need.

Hugh Glass (mauled by a bear and left for dead, showed up two months later crawling out of the woods) On his Blue Peter win David Long said: he was “overjoyed” not least because he too grew up watching Blue Peter. “My sons never missed an episode, and now I’m going to visit the studio and meet the team. It’s fantastic news,” he said.Each story is just the perfect length to read aloud at bedtime (although may give sensitive children somewhat vivid dreams), or for children to devour alone. Kerry Hyndman's stunning illustrations bring the book alive to a fantastic degree. Like Jet, a dog who searched through ruins during the Blitz bombings to find survivors, or Sergeant Stubby, a dog who caught a spy. Or the pigeons who braved hurricanes, hawks and even snipers to help during WWII … As mascots, messengers, rat-catchers and even spies, animals have long marched into war alongside servicemen and women. Dogs, horses, cats (even birds, camels and elephants) have saved thousands of lives through instinct, intelligence, courage and devotion. I cant review this book as it was not possible to read it. The print is tiny and there is no option to enlarge it. Im sure its a good book, i just have no way to find out.

The Woman Who Froze to Death - Yet Lived, a woman who was trapped under freezing water for so long her heart stopped. Four hours later, medics managed to warm her blood enough to revive her. Heroes by David Long is the perfect KS2 non-fiction class reader for Years 4–6, recommended for children aged 9+. Beautifully designed collection of true survival short stories covering adventures and mishaps from 1912 (Mawson in Antarctica) to 2014 (spelunker trapped in a cave in Germany). There is a wide variety of settings and a mix of natural disasters and human errors, explorers, adventurers and people just caught in the wrong place and time. Four of the 23 stories feature women.

I am at the heart of a happy community where a love of learning and a wealth of challenges and opportunities inspire my confidence, creativity and talents. For as long as people have looked for adventure, some have also found danger… And here are the stories of survival, gloriously written by David Long and sublimely illustrated by Kerry Hyndman.
