4 cassette(s). Unabridged. Adrenaline (Audio). Explore: Stories of Survival From Off the Map offers first-hand accounts from the world's boldest explorers, men and women encountering storms, starvation, cannibals, predators and disease in their pursuit of mystery and adventure. Their stories are immediate, passionate and dramatic accounts of contact with the unknown, discovered in the mountains of Africa and the Himalaya, the jungles of New Guinea and the Amazon, the ice flows of the Arctic and the canyon lands of the American southwest.
Featuring selections from Tim Cahill, Redmond O'Hanlon, John Long, Fridtjof Nansen and Harold Brodkey, Explore includes the most thrilling and compelling accounts ever written of exploration. Each will take you off the map to those few refuges where true discovery is still possible.
