1.		Into the Wild from Anchor Price: $6.34 Customer Review: I saw the movie first and just knew I had to read the book. I still have mixed feelings about this guy. I envy his nerve but he was too smart to have been so ill-prepared. Maybe he was a little arrogant and spoiled. I also question why he seemingly wasn't fishing more. I recommend this book, but I... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.	[no image]	Under the Banner of Heaven from Books on Tape Price: $160.00 Customer Review: The cover of this book states that the book will focus on the murder of a woman and her infant daughter in 1984 by "two brothers who believed they were ordered to kill by God." In fact, the 372 pages barely talk about this murder. Rather, it is a long and totally exhaustive history of the Mormon... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman from Anchor Price: $10.76 Customer Review: The author tells three stories. One is the story of Pat Tillman and another the systematic failures that led to his death and produced a cover up. The third story, the modern history of Afghanistan, is used to parallel the life of Pat Tillman. The first two stories are the heart of the book. The... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman from Doubleday Price: $15.95 Customer Review: The author tells three stories. One is the story of Pat Tillman and another the systematic failures that led to his death and produced a cover up.

5.	[no image]	Into Thin Air from Sagebrush Education Resources Price: $16.65 Customer Review: I was looking forward to reading Into Thin Air, I love mountaineering and Mt. Everest, and the life & death struggles that come with it, and nothing like sad tragedy to make me feel...alive and thankful. I read this book in 2 days, but went from enthralled with the mountain drama to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.	[no image]	Eiger Dreams: Ventures Among Men and Mountains from The Lyons Press Price: $14.95 Customer Review: I have read many mountain climbing books (I won't claim "most", because this is a prolific genre) and this is my favorite. It is a collection of John Krakauer's short stories from before he became famous by writing "Into Thin Air". These are gritty stories with a humor and adventure. I read it over... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		In the Land of White Death : An Epic Story of Survival in the Siberian Arctic from Modern Library Price: $4.72 Customer Review: I too find it hard to believe that this story went unknown for so long. I'm glad it was finally brought to light. It makes a great addition to my collection -alongside Shackleton, Island of the Lost and Skeletons on the Zahara -just to mention a few	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		The Best American Essays of the Century from Mariner Books Price: $15.16 Customer Review: This is a treasure of the Best American Essays of the last hundred years. It's funny that Joyce Carol Oates chooses one of her OWN essays for the book, but it is a good one!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		High Exposure: An Enduring Passion for Everest and Unforgiving Places from Simon & Schuster Price: $3.49 Customer Review: Reading David Breashears' pedestrian and flaccid account of his climbing and film-making career is like post-holing through waist-deep snow, only to reach a fogged-in summit. By the end of this poorly constructed narrative, the reader knows less about what makes Breashears tick than about the inner... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Forget Me Not: A Memoir from Mountaineers Books Price: $10.38 Customer Review: Forget Me Not: A Memoir Jennifer Lowe-Anker reaches through the heart of her story, grabs your hand, and pulls you along on a journey through adventure, challenge, joy, heartbreak, loss and love. Her indomitable spirit confronts adversity which most of us personally will never encounter. Through... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Iceland: Land of the Sagas from Villard Price: $14.69 Customer Review: I bought this book because I like Jon Krakauer. I read every book he has written. But it is David Roberts' story telling and his exquisit taste and explanation of Iceland's culture that captured my heart and imagination. It is a very easy read, yet you want take your time and imagine that old land.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Into the Wild. from Pan Price: $8.00 Customer Review: This is a well-written book that holds one's attention on most pages. However, it is a a classic case of yellow journalism - the description and explanation of Chris's death are totally fabricated by the author. There is not the slightest evidence that Chris was poisoned by any plant, period. I am... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

14.		Epic: Stories of Survival From The World's Highest Peaks (The Adrenaline Series) from Adrenaline Audiobooks Price: $5.48 Customer Review: A rather commercial book! This is a compilation of reports of well known mountaineers on their glorious deeds on the highest and also mostly exploited mountains of the world, the Mt. Everest and the K2. It comprises a period of 60 years. Among the writers are exclusively protagonists, such names as... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster from Villard Books Price: $25.33 Customer Review: Merely from reading the introduction and dedication, it's clear from the start the Everest expedition that book is based on resulted in the deaths of a number of climbers, and partially for that reason (as with The Perfect Storm), there's a grim magnetism to the story that pulls you along toward the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

17.	[no image]	High: Stories of Survival From Everest and K2 from Adrenaline Books Price: $9.99 Customer Review: This is a classic. Well told stories of the difficulties encountered climbing Everest and K2. The machismo seems to have been left far below the altitudes these climbers struggle at. These true accounts finally wind together around common threads of stress, inability to think and act rationally... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Great Exploration Hoaxes (Modern Library Exploration) from Modern Library Price: $9.11 Customer Review: "Great Exploration Hoaxes" is an brief, entertaining investigation into a sampling of celebrated feats of exploration and survival that probably weren't so real after all. Author David Roberts was a highly competent mountaineer in the 1960s and 1970's; he has since become a prolific and capable... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.	[no image]	Into Thin Air the Illustrated Edition from Villard Customer Review: This review is to help people understand the differences between the paperback version of Mr. Krakauer's book and the 'illustrated' version. (So much has been written about the content, that it hardly seems worth putting down my own paltry thoughts about Jon's Everest adventure.) The first... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Notes from The Century Before: A Journal from British Columbia (Modern Library Exploration) from Modern Library Price: $99.10 Customer Review: This book has interesting moments, but very hard to follow geographically even with the maps provided. There is plenty of interesting historical information about Indians native to Western Canada and also early settlers and their way of life. Since it is primarily a diary, no interesting plot to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
