 As Told at the Explorer's Club
edited by George PlimptonFor more than a century, The Explorers Club has been the meeting place for some of the most daring adventurers on the planet. It's a legendary oasis, where a man just back from the Gobi Desert might kick back and, over some port, have a chat with a fellow off to Bandung. Here then, are some of the best tales ever swapped at that capital of adventure, including: - Anthony Fiola on being in close quarters with a polar bear
- Charles Lindbergh on his famous flight
- Felix Reisenberg on the Arctic
- Anne Keenleyside, Ph. D. on cannibalism
- Roald Amundsen on the explorer Stefansson
- Mervyn Cowie on hunting killer lions
- Jean-Marc Boivin on hang-gliding
- Curtis and Kathleen Saville on oceanic rowing
- E. W. Deming on Sitting Bull's mysterious death
It's some of the finest writing on some of the most hair-raising journeys ever made, all selected by editor George Plimpton, himself a member of The Explorers Club. Paperback 445 pages - 6" x 9" - (9/05)
