| book description |

How to predict the weather with a cup of coffee and other essential techniques for surviving the 9â€“5. A smart, spoof survival guide â€“ to the 9â€“5. Ray Mearsâ€™ and Bruce Parryâ€™s advice is all very well if youâ€™re stuck up the Amazon without a paddle, but what about finding your way to a seat on a crowded bus, predicting the weather with a coffee in Starbucks or getting rid of cold callers with a microwave? Urban Bushcraft shows how to dust off your native survival instincts and update them for the modern world â€“ whether itâ€™s negotiating the car park at Ikea, anti-interrogation techniques at customer service desks, or navigating by electricity pylon. Harnessing the laws of science, nature and human behaviour, this book revisits and reinvents the tricks that got us through our savage past and updates them for the 21st century. It arms you with a cavemanâ€™s toolkit for survival wherever you may be â€“ Starbucks, the office, or a crowded tube on a Friday night â€“ and tells you all you need to know to transform your daily grind into a non-stop adventure (you donâ€™t even have to wear khaki).
