Absinthe & Flamethrowers: Projects and Ruminations on the Art of Living Dangerously
By William Gurstelle (MBA '84)
Chicago Review Press, 2009
Written for reasonable risk takers and suburban dads who want to add more excitement to their lives, this daring combination of science, history and DIY projects explains why danger is good for you and details the art of living dangerously. All of the projects—from throwing knives, drinking absinthe, and eating fugu to cracking a bull whip, learning baritsu, and building a flamethrower—have short learning curves; are human-focused, as opposed to technology-centric; are affordable; and demonstrate true but reasonable risk. Each project also includes step-by-step directions and illustrations along with sidebar tips from experts in the field.
