By Stefan H. Verstappen
These are turbulent times with seemingly endless news reports on crime, corruption, war, riots, natural disasters and nuclear catastrophes.

This is an encyclopedia of crime prevention and disaster preparedness knowledge that covers a wide spectrum from; what to do if your child has been abducted, to how to decontaminate after being exposed to nuclear fallout. From; how to tell if someone is lying, to the three basic tactics used by predators.
Written in a ‘just what you need to know’ style with a no-nonsense understanding of what real life dangers entail, this material is easy to understand, follow, and suitable for the whole family to read.
Lots of high quality illustrations and graphics help make this life saving information memorable so that you’ll know just what to do to keep you and your family safe no matter what the situation.

This book is excellent.
After reading the descriptions and techniques to defend oneself, I was compelled to make copies and give to my family members. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is in doubt of a person whether at work or in a personal relationship. The book states psychopath are as common as left handed people and they are not always serial killers but they can destroy your life without care or remorse.

The best description of psychopaths I have read so far!
That is a lot of information here for people planning for a disaster. I live in New York, and I began to think about leaving after I read that.
However, the biggest disaster I know is to have a psychopath in your life. they do not all become serial killers, but lots of them do it by proxy. this was most enlightening, and answered many questions I had about them. The bibliography was stunning as well.
