I don't know anything about that book, but my 14 yo son is very much into survival also. He has a few favorite resources that he can recommend (when he gets here next week)if you like.
I do know that he really likes a book called the SAS Survival Handbook, and one called Wilderness 911.
He also really enjoyed Thomas Elpel's books (Botany in a Day, etc) especially one called Participating In Nature.
Participating in Nature
SAS Survival Handbook
Wilderness 911(this one is more geared to treating injuries, etc in the outdoors)
Wilderness Survival
Some of his favorite survival websites:
Wildwood Survival
Wilderness Survival
Wilderness Survival Guide
Aircavalry Survival guide
Hope that helps!
