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, passionate and dramatic accounts of contact with the unknown, set in the mountains of Africa and the Himalayas; the jungles of New Guinea and the Amazon; the ice flows of the Arctic 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. - John Long dives in search of a legendary underground lair, and runs low on air in the depths of a subterranean pool. - David Roberts copes with ancient curses in his search for an Anasazi city high on the cliffs of New Mexico. - Michael Finkel fights killer bees, tsetse flies, malaria and angry hippos on the Congo's Chinko river. - Redmond O'Hanlon searches the Amazon for the dreaded Yanomami Indians - and finds them. - At the brink of death Harold Brodkey explores territory that all of us must some day discover. Like all Adrenaline titles, Explore features only the best writing on its subject - the most thrilling and compelling accounts ever written of exploration in all its forms. The stories will take you off the map, to those few surviving refuges where true discovery is still possible.
