ADVANCE PRAISE FOR SURVIVING SURVIVAL
"Gonzales looks deeply into the mental processes that enable us to cope with the trauma that often sets in during and after a challenge to our survival. . . . The best parts are not [the] harrowing stories, though, but instead the author's contemplative explanations of the science behind, for instance, how the amygdala works, a blend of inheritance and hard-won education."

"Remarkable, unique, and compulsively readable. Deep Survival is three books in one: a compendium of vivid tales of disasters and near misses in the wilderness; a probing analysis of what the latest neuroscience and psychology can tell us about 'who lives and who dies'; and, finally, a moving memoir about Gonzales's father, whose own miraculous survival after a plane crash behind German lines in World War II launched the author on his lifelong • quest into the mystery of risk and adventure."
