Survival (not) guaranteed. A journey through time with a historian

The only book you need if you want to go back to the past. A classic plot setup about time travelers: you have been thrown into real history. The time machine broke down, and you ended up: • among dinosaurs; • on the day of the Chicxulub asteroid impact; • in the Ice Age; • in Ancient Egypt; • in Pompeii during the eruption of Vesuvius; • in the Roman Empire in the year of its fall; • in the Dark Ages in the darkest year; • during the plague; • in Constantinople in the year of its fall; • on the first circumnavigation; • sailing with Blackbeard; • in the horrific Donner Party expedition; • in San Francisco during the great earthquake of 1906; • of course, in the hold of the "Titanic"; • and in the most powerful American tornado. A natural question arises: how to survive? Our illustrated guide will help, containing all the scientific, engineering, artistic, and philosophical information, facts, and figures necessary even for the most inexperienced time traveler to wait for their return to the 21st century.
