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. About Lonely Planet: Lonely Planet is a
