How to Survive History: How to Outrun a Tyra… por Cody Cassidy
A fun look into a handful of disastrous moments in history from the viewpoint of how you could have possibly survived them. In each chapter Cassidy takes on a particular event (the Chicxulub asteroid, the fall of Rome, the 1906 San Francisco earthquake,…), and using advice from experts in that specific field, he lays out a plan for survival, should you find yourself somehow back in time and in the wrong place. An easy and interesting read; I learned a lot more than I thought I would!

Awesome book.
And Then You're Dead is a popular science book that speculates about what would happen to a person during real life and hypothetical situations. Eg. Visiting Jupiter, Venus, or the sun, getting attacked by a Shark, time traveling to the distant past, getting electrocuted, etc. It's a bit morbid, but really entertaining.

How long ago did humans begin wearing clothing? Painting? Riding horses? Eating oysters? What do we know about the people who first performed each of these milestones? This fun and light-hearted history book examines these and a host of other events, attempting to answer not only the "whens," but also the "whos" and "whys." It's a quick read and a great source of fun facts and trivia for your next cocktail party or water-cooler gathering.
With a title like that, how could i refuse this book!? each chapter has been well researched (backed by archaeologists, map makers, scientists, survivalists, and other field experts) and reads like documentary episodes from the history channel (back when they were still doing history). i enjoyed the chapters on the already mentioned Pompeii, Titanic, and T. Rex...but i was surprised at how much i liked the chapters on Magellan's circumnavigation of the globe and Blackbeard and his pirates. although, most of the survival recommendations could be summed up as: run as early as possible, as fast as possible ^_^… (mais)
