A miracle creator who transcends life and death! 25 heart-stirring true stories, a featured column crafted by the U.S. National Geographic magazine for the American Discovery Channel. The U.S. West Point Military Academy and the British Royal Forces use stories from this book as typical cases for wilderness survival training and handling emergency situations. With a desperate longing for life, extraordinary willpower, tenacious perseverance, and a sharp intellect, they cross the line between life and death, defeating death.
The CBS-produced "Survivor" is a globally sensational super TV show that caused major disruptions in American summer life. It kept 70 million American viewers glued to their screens, eagerly discussing the show. It led to a significant decline in U.S. box office revenues during the most crucial summer period. It sparked a global craze for "reality TV."
The greatest charm of "Survivor" lies in its lack of directors or scripts—everything is faced by real people in real challenges, an appeal that no Hollywood blockbuster can match.
Under the lure of a million dollars, "Survivor" created a virtual yet real space where a group of people enacted a condensed, dramatic life—16 American men and women competitors on a deserted island, competing in a "survival of the fittest" manner for 39 days, with the final "survivor" winning a million-dollar prize.
This book is a completely different "Survivor" written after extensive research, interviews, and the review of a vast amount of materials, distinguishing itself from the TV imitation show.
