ABOUT THE BOOKS

SPOTTING DANGER

Welcome to the HEADS-UP Situational Awareness series. Throughout my career as a Federal Air Marshal, I learned a lot of valuable lessons about predatory violence, personal safety, and security in unfamiliar environments. I also learned what it takes to develop situational awareness and how to pass that knowledge on to you and your family. Each book in the HEADS-UP series is devoted to a specific aspect of situational awareness, from its foundational elements to how it affects your kids, teens, and travel.

Spotting Danger Before It Spots Your TEENS

“Once again, Gary Quesenberry has hit the nail on the head with his most recent book in his Spotting Danger series. Never before have teens been so vulnerable to violence as they are today. Gary, who has raised three children to adulthood, knows all too well the difficulty and dangers that teens face online, in school, in their cars, in malls, and on the street. Gary crams this book with ten chapters that address such issues as the teen’s mind, situational awareness, the power of intuition, visualization, driver safety, and much, much more. Gary’s previous books prove he knows his stuff. As a long-time student of violence and predatory mindset and with a long career as a federal air marshal, the man brings a wealth of experience to his writing. Get this one.“

Spotting Danger for Travelers

“In his latest book, Spotting Danger for Travelers, Gary Quesenberry draws on his nineteen years of experience as a Federal Air Marshal to enlighten readers on the importance of situational awareness while traveling. Far from dry or clinical, Gary expertly weaves the technical aspects of situational awareness with personal stories and experiences to give the reader a deeper understanding of the critical role awareness plays in personal safety. The result is a comprehensive yet easy-to-read guide that covers everything from setting up home security before you leave to post-travel considerations once you return home. So, whether you’re planning a big family vacation, solo business trip, or a quick weekend getaway, I highly recommend reading this book.”

Spotting Danger Before It Spots You

“A work that is greater than the sum of its parts, and unlike anything else available on this critical topic. This book stands out because of Gary’s incredibly thorough and comprehensive presentation of situational awareness, a life-saving ability to spot danger in order to protect ourselves and our loved ones.
I have read many books on the subject, and I can honestly say that no one has even come close to matching Spotting Danger Before It Spots You when it comes to teaching situational awareness. This fundamental skill is key to surviving and overcoming the array of threats that confront the average citizen in the world today.
Armed with the skills taught in this book, you will not need to live in fear; you will live instead in a state of awareness and readiness.
