In Man vs. Wild , Bear Grylls demonstrates all manner of survival techniques when faced with nature's extremes--from crossing piranha-infested rivers to fighting off grizzly bears. He shows us how, armed with the correct know-how and a determination to stay alive, all of us have the potential to beat the elements in even the bleakest of situations. Bear Grylls is the ultimate modern-day adventurer. He spent three years with the British Special Forces (21 SAS), only leaving when a near-fatal parachuting accident broke his back in three places. Just two years later, Grylls followed his childhood dream and became one of the youngest climbers ever to reach the summit of Mount Everest. He is the host of the Discovery Channel series Man vs. Wild , where viewers tune in to watch Grylls show what it takes to find your way out of the most inhospitable places on earth with little more than the clothes on your back. Now, in his book, he shows his millions of fans worldwide how to do what he does in an utterly entertaining crash course in surviving every kind of hard ecosystem--mountain, sub-zero terrain, jungle, desert, and the sea. Grylls takes readers on a journey to the corners of the earth and recreates disaster scenarios such as being stranded on a desert island or lost in the snowy Arctic. Perfect for armchair adventurers and extreme sports buffs alike, Man vs. Wild is destined to become a classic in adventure literature. Prepare to learn how to ... Snack on maggots Dig yourself a shelter from the snow Suck the fluid from fish eyeballs Skin a snake and eat it Use your own urine to cool yourself down Live without your cell phone "When disaster strikes and we find ourselves alone in an unknown and hostile environment, why do some people survive and others perish? Almost all of the most extraordinary tales of survival seem to involve an indefinable Ingredient X, which can only be understood as having its source in that mysterious entity, the `human spirit.'"

关于本书
本书作者贝尔•格里尔斯身上贴满神奇标签，但很多年前，他与你我无异。从一个普通的小男孩，到“站在食物链顶端的男人”，这中间发生过的一切，本书用30万字的深情回溯、60余张精彩照片娓娓道出——这里有一个最真实的贝尔：
六岁时的贝尔瘦弱怯懦，但他接受规则，不惧挑战，在距地七英尺高的单杠上，他像死野鸡一样倒挂，咬牙死撑；在荒无人烟的崇山峻岭中，他满怀热爱，跟着父亲攀岩，一次次摔倒，一次次爬起，一次次从泥浆中挺直腰身——这里有一个不屈服的贝尔；
十三岁，在伊顿公学念书的贝尔曾遭遇校园霸凌，为此，贝尔发奋强身，学空手道苦不堪言，同学者纷纷放弃，唯有贝尔执意坚持，最终以英国年龄最小选手资格远赴日本参赛，三年后成为全英最年轻的黑带二段选手——这里有一个不轻言放弃的贝尔；
十八岁中学毕业，贝尔许下登顶珠穆朗玛的心愿，不料却被亲友嘲笑；五年后，贝尔意外高空坠落，几近瘫痪，躺在病床上，贝尔心中的登顶之梦反而愈发强烈，康复后，历经千辛万苦，贝尔终于登顶世界之巅——这里有一个视艰险为荣耀、视危难为勋章的贝尔。
四十岁，贝尔誉满全球，垂范天下。新节目不断开播，包括凯特•温斯莱特、巴拉克•奥巴马等在内的嘉宾接踵而至，但在贝尔心中，外曾祖父瓦尔特•史迈尔斯当年在北爱尔兰海岸呼吸过的海风仍不时飘过，祖辈的谆谆训戒仍不时在耳边回响：“绅士”并非来自血统，而是来自人格，“贫乏”不仅因为物质，更是因为灵魂——这里有一个追梦不舍、人格伟岸的贝尔。
