The places listed in this book are dangerous or even forbidden. What is this «Valley of Death» located in Eastern Siberia? Does the shortest airport in the world meet any security standard?

Here is a world tour in 80 perils, illustrated by photographs and exceptional maps. Stuff to shiver on your sofa.
