Description

This title contains cool tips and tricks - but practical enough for real use. An altogether more altruistic book - this one focuses on saving others rather than yourself! "Superman Returns" will be the big film of Summer 06 and this title will be perfectly timed to capitalise. It is a fantastic humour title for all accounts. Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's the follow-up to our successful "Batman Handbook" - a brand-new real-world guide to saving the day, arriving just in time for the June 2006 box office release of "Superman Returns". It doesn't take superpowers to know how to problem solve - just superknowledge. And "The Superman Handbook" provides you with the tips, techniques, and tricks of the trade to be the hero anywhere, at anytime. You'll learn: Super Rescues - How to catch someone falling through the air, how to save someone hanging on a ledge, how to stop a runaway train; Super Aid - How to save someone who has stopped breathing, how to treat a wound, how to treat someone who has swallowed poison; Super Skills - How to build up superstrength, how to break down a door, how to jump long distances, how to improve your supersenses; Super Everyday Emergencies - How to fix a burst pipe, how to fix a broken photocopier, how to deal with a gas leak; and much more! It is illustrated with dozens of original two-color step-by-step images for easy use!
