      Synopsis

      The Upper East Side metrosexual may be good at cocktail chat, but a real man knows how to fight off alligators, create a tourniquet out of a t-shirt, and rescue a drowning person. Frank Miniter's The Ultimate Man's Survival Guide shows men how to do all of these and more, including:

      * how to fight off a bear
      * how to set a dislocated joint
      * how to pick the perfect cigar and bottle of wine

      Presented in seven sections-survivor, provider, athlete, hero, romantic, cultured man, and philosopher-Miniter teaches guys the skills, attitudes, and philosophies they need to be the ultimate man. Clearly written and packed with real-life anecdotes, as well as line-drawings and how-to illustrations, The Ultimate Man's Survival Guide teaches men that any guy can be the ultimate man whether he is rescuing a lost hiker, plucking a child from a swift stream, or standing up against injustice.

      Biography

      November 21, 2009: So... there ARE others out there who feel like I do - and who have the skill to write what we believe. Political correctness be damned - being a man is about Honor and Duty. This is a very enjoyable read. Lots of useful information as well as a bit of "gee whiz" stuff. As another reviewer stated, this is not a "macho man" book, but a book that will make you think. I especially appreciated each "Portrait of a Man" sprinkled throughout the book - mini biographies of notable men. And then there are the moral codes and... well, just too much to list here. I am very satisfied with this book.

      October 04, 2009: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Not what I expected, but better. Breezed through it, and appreciated the fact that it gives you a well rounded foundation. After reading I gave it to my son in law, so he can pass it on to my grand son. My wife and daughter enjoyed it equally. I would highly recommend it, because it is not just about being macho.
