Fifteen gripping tales of determination, strength of mind, perseverance, and fortitude.Although survival is often taken for granted - something every human strives to achieve on a daily basis - it is just this everyday imperative that makes for the most exciting stories.

This is when something as intrinsic as breathing or swallowing becomes the most essential need and the most sought-after desire.
