Wild: Stories of Survival from the Worlds Most Dangerous Places (Adrenaline)

Wild brings together the best writing about men and women fighting for their lives in the wilderness, from Jon Krakauers article on which he based his bestseller Into the Wild, to Carl R. Raswans account of surviving raids, droughts, and sandstorms in the desert with the Bedouins, to Joe Kanes description of terrifying adventures on the Amazon. Other accounts include: Philipe Descola telling of life with an isolated tribe of headhunters; Bill Bryson describing his life-threatening but hilarious adventures along the Appalachian Trail; and Eric Newby finding himself lost in some of the worlds most daunting terrain, the unmapped Hindu Kush.
