A proposito di questo titolo
For centuries, explorers from all over the globe have traveled the far reaches of what the world has to offer, helping us expand the map, learn about other cultures, and move the needle of human knowledge. But an explorer’s work isn’t finished when they reach a new destination or make a discovery; they need to somehow tell the tale.
Letters from the Edge compiles letters, email exchanges, field journals, and more from explorers who have joined the esteemed and longstanding organization The Explorers Club. As they undertook their journeys, sometimes with their lives at risk, they penned their dispatches from afar, sharing their thoughts on enduring lava-spewing volcanos in Australia; suffering starvation and isolation in the harsh tundra of the Arctic; rescuing trapped kids in hazardous caves in Thailand; plunging into the depths of the North Atlantic Ocean to excavate the history of the Titanic; communicating with the other side of the galaxy; and so much more—all to quench the insatiable curiosity of humanity. And still, humanity strives to discover more.
Using source materials and interviews with the explorers, Letters from the Edge helps us understand the edge of our knowledge, culture, and universe, and inspires us to navigate the edges in our lives.
Recensioni della critica
“Pull a log up to the campfire and take a seat: These stories from the annals of The Explorers Club should be read by the flickering light of burning logs—tales of tomb raiders, doomed adventurers, plane crashes, and all manner of Indiana Jones–style hijinks. The ‘letters’ of the title refer to missives sent home from the venerable institution’s members (including astronauts and ex-presidents). With this source material, author Jeff Wilser builds richly detailed narratives of true-life visits to the edge of knowledge, the edge of comfort, the edge of a volcano. Pick a page, any page, dive in, and be rewarded.”—Adventure Journal
“Curated from The Explorer’s Club, this book is a compilation of letters, email exchanges and field journals culled from The Explorer’s Club member’s correspondence. What does it mean to be on the edge of the world? How does it feel to be at the far reaches of the globe? This book expands the map and lifts back the curtain on what it feels like to explore other cultures and add to our knowledge bank. Whether it’s an individual in the midst of a lava-spewing volcano, someone facing the harsh arctic tundra or diving below the sea to investigate the wreckage of the Titanic, these stories help us to know ourselves, our limits, and the world around us.”—Lee Woodruff, journalist
