Deep Survival: Who
Lives, Who Dies, and
Why
"It's what's in your heart,
not what's in your pack
that separates the living
from dead." Laurence
Gonzales, award-
winning journalist and
author of the soon-to-be
released book, Deep
Survival, will take us
from the tops of snowy
mountains to the depths
of the ocean to the
workings of the human
brain that control our
behavior to analyze
and describe the essence of a survivor.
Mr. Gonzales has been Managing Editor
of the journal Tri-Quarterly, Contributing
Editor for Paris Review, Articles Editor
for Playboy, Artist in Residence at the
University of Missouri, Contributing Editor for
Men's Journal, and is now Contributing Editor
for National Geographic Adventure Magazine.
