A comprehensive manual of proven wilderness survival tactics for every situation. Written for use in formal United States Air Force survival training courses, the U.S. Air Force Survival Handbook is the bible for pilots who want to stay alive-no matter what. Assuming, as the Air Force does, that flight personnel may be faced at any time with a bailout or crash landing in hostile territory without supplies, the advice here is superlatively practical, but also surprisingly readable and interesting. Detailing specific survival threats at sea, in the tropics, in the desert, in Arctic conditions, and the psychological perils of imprisonment and torture, this handbook is replete with fascinating and useful (if unsettling) information. Precisely written, profusely illustrated, and completely authoritative, this is an essential book for anyone-soldier or civilian-looking for knowledge that could prove to be the difference between life and death in a dangerous situation. 1000 black-and-white illustrations

From his first day of training, Mr. Parker had been fascinated by Kenpo, it's unique nature kept his curiosity aroused and continually wet his appetite for an ever increasing knowledge throughout his life. As he pursued knowledge by dissecting motion, he reaffirmed his belief that logic was the key ingredient influencing consistent organized methods of study. Structuring his work, he achieved clarity along with the ability to modify and update newly discovered concepts, theories, and principles. Mr. Parker developed a distinctive method of converting verbal language into physical language as he personalized lessons through the use of analogies, sayings, and short stories. This personalized teaching method allowed him to expand unilaterally, resulting in a generation of new concepts as well as a new and equally terminology, devised, developed and included in the Kenpo experience. Together with the other writings of Mr. Parker, this volume brings together, into a cohesive whole, the mind of a Master of Motion.
