illustrated instructions on coping with all kinds of threatening
situations, from muggings to knife attacks. The author teaches you
strategies for both avoiding conflict and getting out of a
dangerous situation quickly and safely. Learn how mental attitude,
body language, assertiveness, and the ability to overcome fear can
prevent you from becoming a prime target for criminals. Learn which
parts of the body are the most effective weapons in fending off an
attacker, and which are the most likely targets for attack. Defend
yourself from sudden grabs, strangles, weapons, and road rage. And

previously available only to British SAS Special Forces soldiers.
Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and instructive
artworks and including expert advice throughout, The SAS and
Special Forces Self-Defence Handbook is a comprehensive guide to
self-defence for both men and women.

John “Lofty” Wiseman is the author of the bestselling SAS
Survival Handbook, the definitive guide to survival in the wild
from Britain’s Special Air Service. Now he has compiled the
complete guide to surviving among crowds of people, the mazes of
office buildings, the dangers of an unfeeling city—put simply,
how to stay safe in the urban jungle. Thousands of preventable
fatalities occur in the home every year—more than on the roads,
more than in the great outdoors. Household chemicals, electricity,
cooking knives, and rodent poisons—in the wrong hands and with
improper usage, these day-to-day resources bring danger to your
home. Add to this the risks of moving through city streets (the
threat of rape, muggings, and gang violence) and the menace of
natural disasters (floods, earthquakes, blizzards) that cannot be
avoided. Every day serves as a constant reminder: The world is
truly a frightening place. The SAS Urban Survival Guide advises
readers to think practically about urban environments and offers
tips and instructions on how to avoid hazards wherever one goes.
From self-defense techniques to home security systems to coping
with natural disasters, this book teaches readers to recognize
danger, make quick decisions, and live confidently in the modern
world.

Anyone who has spent even a little time outdoors has come across
strange tracks left by animals or people and wondered, "What was
here?" In this practical guide, former-SAS member Bob Carss shows
how to track any moving thing, in any environment, and under nearly
any circumstance. He begins by explaining common terms, such as a
"top sign", markings left above ankle height; "pointers", signs
that tell the general direction of the quarry; and a "conclusive
sign," markings that confirm the quarry's presence. The difference
between tracks left by quarry and false tracks are described, as
well as how a pattern of signs builds into the tracking picture -
the overall movement, direction, and motivation of the quarry.
Included are tips on: *Tracking in desert, forest, jungle, marsh,
and grassy areas *Interpreting animal, human, and vehicle signs
*How to preserve night vision *Using time frames to eliminate
misleading signs *Detecting quarry when they backtrack or circle
around *How time and weather affect signs *How to spot
intentionally misleading signs The SAS Guide to Tracking is a
remarkable guide to developing a new awareness of the outdoors and
is the perfect companion for naturalists, outdoorspeople, hunters,
wildlife photographers, search-and-rescue teams, and law
enforcement.
