"The first attempt on Everest in 1922 by George Leigh Mallory and a British team is an extraordinary story full…
of controversy, drama, and incident, populated by a set of larger-than-life characters straight out of an adventure novel. The expedition ended in tragedy when, on their third bid for the top, Mallory's party was hit by an avalanche that left seven men dead. Using diaries, letters, and unpublished accounts, Mick Conefrey creates a rich, character-driven narrative that explores the motivations and private dramas of the key individuals-detailing their backroom politics and bitter rivalries-who masterminded this epic adventure." -- Provided by publisherVermont wild: adventures of Vermont Fish & Game Wardens.

Every year, a couple thousand would-be "thruhikers" set out to walk the entire 2,000-mile length Georgia- to Maine Appalachian Trail.…
About one of every 10 actually makes it. Robert Rubin's chances did not look good. Thirty-eight years old, dispirited, and burned out, he dreamed of leaving mortgage, wife, and cul-de-sac life behind for a journey that would take half a year-- or might never end. What awaited Rubin was not the solo trek he'd imagined, but a strange vagrant culture of pilgrims and dropouts with its own rules and rituals."The thrill of the chase: a memoir

In 1814, in the aftermath of the French Revolution, nineteen-year-old Rose Pinon married handsome naval officer Louis de Freycinet, fifteen…
years her senior. Three years later, unable to bear parting from her husband, she dressed in men's clothing and slipped secretly aboard his ship the day before it sailed on a voyage of scientific discovery to the South Seas. Living for three years as the sole female among 120 men, Rose de Freycinet defied not only bourgeois society's expectations of a woman in 1817, but also a strict prohibition against women sailing on French naval ships. From dancing at Governors' balls in distant colonies, to evading pirates and meeting armed Indigenous warriors on remote Australian shores, to surviving shipwreck in the wintry Falkland Islands, Rose used her quick pen to record her daily experiences, becoming the first woman to circumnavigate the world and leave a record of her journey. Suzanne Falkiner tells this story of courage, enduring love, curiosity and spirit of adventure, using contemporaneous accounts as well Rose's own journal and letters.
