Description
A study of survival at the edge of human experience, this book documents cases of extreme trauma and the factors that have allowed people to survive against all odds. The author argues that a sense of connection and of the interdependence of all things often gives people the extra strength they need to endure traumatic circumstances. Drawing on a wide range of personal examples and narratives by other authors, the book culminates with a consideration of how personal patterns of trauma and survival are also applicable to collective trauma and the survival of the world.
