From Surviving an Anaconda Attack
to Finding Your Way Out of the Desert
It is also a terrific guide into the subject of adventure, travel, discovery, endurance, glory and tragedy. If you are curious about the past and how the world was discovered, mapped and understood, this is the book to reach for.
It is chock-full of brief descriptions of countless expeditions. You will easily find subjects you are interested in and it will point you in the direction to discover more. From mountain climbing, desert explorations, ocean sailings of discovery it's all there. Names, dates, expedition titles all are jumping off points to discover more books or websites that will expand on what is presented by Conefrey.
While reading this book, I often put it down and went outside for some fresh air.
Highly recommended.
