Description: This fresh and eloquent collection of outdoor writing will pull you from your armchair and propel you up mountainsides, plummet you deep under the sea and carry you along paths lined with memory; desire and the spirit of adventure.

Anne Dal Vera recounts her pioneering - and often grueling - experience as a member of the American Women's Antarctic Expedition; Terri de la Pena explores wildlife in the Malibu Lagoon; Alice Evans describes a hilarious and near-hallucinatory final stretch of a paddling trip; Barbara Wilson tells of a mesmerizing summer of glaciering near Lillehammer; urban thrill-seeker and rollerblader Susanna Levin discovers the outdoors on the streets of San Francisco late at night.

Gutsy and inspirational, energetic and meditative, these original works by well-known writers and talented new voices offer a vivid and contemporary portrait of women's relationship to outdoor life.
