I'v been reading some text books about surivial psychology, one recommends I read Survivor by Janifer.

Have any of you read it, and if so whats it about?

Thanks

If my memory is correct, it is about a guy who is a secret agent type who has some kind of "survivor" type intuition. I think there were 2 books about the same character by LJ. Survivor being the first.

I enjoyed it, I've read it a couple times.

Thanks for that, I will look out for it.

Hey Rosie if you're interested in this sort of thing check out Survivorman - Les Stroud he does some lone survival weeks for TV -alone, he films himself - but it's interesting to see how moral is affected by lack of food/water/shelter and how it can be raised again by lifts in the conditions.

The Hanks film (Castaway?) always seemed pretty good to me in displaying how people might react to such a situation.
