Want to know how to wear a kilt, prevent a hangover, get out of a
sinking car, survive when you're lost, deliver a baby, brew a great beer
and much, much more? The new and expanded Bigger Book of Everything
has it all (well, almost) and is the quintessential guide to travel, to
the world and all sorts of things you didn't know you needed to know.
Learn something new, enjoy a world of smart, safe and exciting travel
and use your witty know-how to make friends wherever you go. You never
know: this book might just save your life.
Written and illustrated by Nigel Holmes, a graphics director who has
written a number of books on aspects of information design and
infographics, the book covers everything from how etiquette varies from
country to country, how to deal with venomous snakebites, what to do if
you're attacked by a crocodile or a shark and how to predict the weather
just by looking at the clouds.
A series of six light-hearted chapters (understanding the world,
outdoors, etiquette, food and drink, health and safety and other fun
stuff) takes you on a journey of discovery and answers all the questions
which you won't even have thought about asking. Besides covering factual
subjects, such as the world's longest rivers and what exactly the
Northern Lights are, the book also touches upon more serious subject
matter, such as how to deliver a baby in an emergency, how to defend
yourself from an attacker or how to survive getting lost on a hike. You
never know: this book might just save your life.
