Customer Review: I got this for my cousin (he's 13) and it was a big hit! He got it just before dinner started and he wouldn't eat because he was too busy reading. :) I got the girls book for his younger sister and encouraged them to read each others' books, which they seemed to like the idea of. Lots of things... more info
Customer Review: I have always loved camping in the wilderness, and am always perfecting my skills at it. This book is full of information, and some even I never knew.

Customer Review: I got this for my cousin (she's in upper elementary school) and it was a hit! Her mother was also excited about the opportunities to read the book together (my cousin is half-Japanese and doesn't read English very well yet). I got the boys book for her brother and encouraged them to read each... more info
Customer Review: Krakauer, with his experience of extreme adventures and good understanding of psychology, has done an excellent work of investigation.

Customer Review: Readers seem to be rating this book higher as it ages. Informative and humorous, it keeps your attention every minute. Some of the commentary on forest conservation, etc. is discouraging....Let's hope that situation has improved since the book was written, but that's doubtful, given the... more info
Customer Review: I read this book (age 57) when my daughter(age 20) was training to climb Aconcagua and I was petrified. She is a good athlete but had never climbed mountains. A friend recommended it to me. As much as I love the rest of the book, what was most poignant to me was the part about how survivors have a... more info

It tells you specifically how to build shelters, fire, animal and fish traps, collect and find water, and first aid for even serious injuries. There are pictures... more info
Customer Review: With a keen and wizened eye for dissecting the world around us, Nicholson draws us into a kaleidoscopic world built on something natural yet ephemeral to all of us. Walking, to Nicholson, is both the puzzle and the answer. He's our guide in an Alice-In-Wonderland-type stroll through human nature,... more info
