| Synopsis: |
Today's wild journeys differ from 19th-century pioneering exploration. The challenge is as often as not self-devised, measured in both psychological and physical dangers. This new collection of 20th and 21st-century adventure-travel writers features Tim Cahill, Ffyona Campbell, Nick Danziger, Peter Matthiessen and Tim Severin among others with 30 first-hand heart-racing travelogues from the world's most remote and perilous places. It features: Cahill's exploration of the Yellowstone; Kim Salak's trek to meet the Stone Age peoples of the dark heart of New Guinea; Nick Danziger crossing the mountains of Soviet-Afghanistan disguised as a Muslim; Theodore Roosevelt rafting down an unknown tributary of the Amazon; and, lots more. Praise for "The Mammoth Book of Travel in Dangerous Places": 'Amazing collection of first-hand travel stories. Brilliant' - Vernon Coleman, "Sunday People". |
