Category: Adventure and adventurers

Explore: Stories of Survival From Off The Map offers first-hand accounts from the world's boldest explorers. These men and women are the genuine article - encountering storms, starvation, cannibals, predators and disease in their pursuit of mystery and adventure. Their stories are immediate, pasionate and dramatic accounts of contact with the unknown, set in the mountains of Africa and the Himalaya, the jung les of New Guinea and the Amazon; the ice flows of the Artic and the canyon lands of the American South West. Explore includes selections from contemporary masters such as David Roberts, Tim Cahill, and Redmond O'Hanlon, as well as earlier explorers like A. N. Cabeza de Vaca and Fridtjof Nansen. Edward Marriott and his party sneak into the pre-dawn New Guinea jungle to escape the wrath of the notoriously dangerous Liawep warriors. Like all Adrenaline titles, Explore features only the best writing on it's subject - the most thrilling and compelling accounts ever written of exploration in all it's forms. The stories will take you off the map, to those surviving refuges where true discovery is still possible.
