Presentation:
Survival is a name which often evocates extreme conditions (cf book below). It may scare, or some of you may think "it is not for me, it is not related to my type of life". On the contrary, survival is about how to escape death in everyday's life. It is not a paranoid view of life but a pragmatical interest in avoiding difficult situations... it is basically about risk management and effectiveness.

My research:
When I was young, I read a very interesting book that I advice to you. Xavier Maniguet is a precise author who also wrote a very good book about sharks. His book is entitled "Survivre/Survival" and is more about relatively extreme environments. It has been translated into English:
