The intrepid Oxford don, explorer & author of Going to Extremes is back, & he's set himself a challenge to cope with the worst that nature can throw at him in Surviving Extremes. Travelling to four of the most extreme natural environments: swamps, deserts, jungles & arctic wastelands, the question is, can he pick up enough tips from the indigenous people to hack it at the very edge of human existence, or will his mid latitude sensibilities forever let him down? This is Nick's account of how he had to put his body & mind to the test in a unique survival experiment. Praise for Going to Extremes: 'A brilliant read...that illustrated the strong will & determination of man in the face of everything that nature had to throw at us' Wanderlust ' Loveably insane Oxford geography professor Nick Middleton...has something of the amateur Victorian explorer about him...a compelling & hilarious look at one of man's lunatic obsessions' The Sunday Times ...

Just one month after his twenty-first birthday, Peter Rudiak-Gould moved to Ujae, a remote atoll in the Marshall Islands located 70 miles from the nearest telephone, car, store, or tourist & 2000 miles from the closest continent. He spent the next year there, living among its 450 inhabitants & teaching English to its schoolchildren. At first glance, Surviving Paradise is a thoughtful & laugh-out-loud hilarious documentation of Rudiak-Gould's efforts to cope with daily life on Ujae as his idealistic expectations of a tropical paradise confront harsh reality. But Rudiak-Gould goes beyond the personal, interweaving his own story with fascinating political, linguistic & ecological digressions about the Marshall Islands. Most poignant are his observations of the noticeable effect of global warming on these tiny, low-lying islands & the threat rising water levels pose to their already precarious existence. ...

Survivor on the River Kwai is the heartbreaking story of Reg Twigg, one of the last men standing from a forgotten war. Called up in 1940, Reg expected to be fighting Germans. Instead, he found himself caught up in the worst military defeat in modern British history
- the fall of Singapore to the Japanese. What followed were three years of hell, moving from one camp to another along the Kwai river, building the infamous Burma railway for the all-conquering Japanese Imperial Army. Some prisoners coped with the endless brutality of the code of Bushido by turning to God; others clung to whatever was left of the regimental structure. Reg made the deadly jungle, with its malaria, cholera, swollen rivers, lethal snakes & exhausting heat, work for him. With an ingenuity that is astonishing, he trapped & ate lizards, harvested pumpkins from the canteen rubbish heap & with his homemade razor became camp barber. That Reg survived is testimony to his own courage & determination, his will to beat the alien brutality of camp guards who had nothing but contempt for him & his fellow POWs. He was a risk taker whose survival strategies sometimes bordered on genius. Reg's story is unique. Reg Twigg was born at Wigston (Leicester) barracks on 16 December 1913, just a few months before the outbreak of the First World War. After the war Reg worked as a warehouseman until retirement, cycling twenty miles daily to Leicester. He still lives in Leicester, & with his family he visited the sites of the POW camps in Thailand in 2006.
