How to survive history

"History is the most dangerous place on earth. In each chapter of [this book], [the author] explores how to survive one of history's greatest threats: getting eaten by dinosaurs, being destroyed by the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, succumbing to the lava flows of Pompeii, being devoured by the Donner Party, drowning during the sinking of the Titanic, falling prey to the Black Death, and more. Using hindsight and modern science to estimate everything from how fast you'd need to run to outpace a T. rex to the advantages of different body types in surviving the Donner Party tragedy, [he] gives you a detailed battle plan for survival, helping you learn about the era at the same time"--Provided by publisher.
