Ours is a dangerous world. Far-off countries are held in the grip of brutal dictators, while others undergo bloody civil wars or brutal gang violence. You can also find danger close to home, at your local amusement park or beach, at your school, or in even your bedroom. The Ultimate Book of Dangerous Places will take you from the bottom of the ocean to the top of a mountain and all the way out into the depths of space in search of danger. The Ultimate Danger series provides a front-row seat to the world's most perilous jobs and hobbies, places and events, and bugs and beasties. Lavishly illustrated and packed with fascinating facts and compelling anecdotes, these six volumes will quench the thirst of even the most thrill-seeking readers.
