You probably recall all the Worst-Case Scenario books that were a big publishing phenomenon about a decade ago. They itemised things that might be a cause for concern, whether in the office, or the dating world, or the jungle. And then they seemed to run out of info, and vanish. But worry not, for the main instigator, David Borgenicht, is back, with a range of similar books for the junior audience. And here he offers a large format encyclopaedia pictorially warning us about dangers in the world around us, and offering advise advice for us to memorise so we can escape as best we can.
Sometimes the way out clause may sound worse than the peril - tigers like nothing less than being thumped down the throat, apparently. Sometimes the cause is self-inflicted - surfing, bull-running. Sometimes it's a natural event that of course could occur in many a time or place - a rockfall, getting lost in the woods. But whatever the threat, it gets a full double page spread, with at least one large picture, and three or so little boxes of trivia, plus the bullet points about what to do.
