In a book that is part memoir and part history, David Roberts looks back at
\nhis personal relationship to extreme risk and tries to make sense of why so
\nmany have committed their lives to the desperate pursuit of adventure.<\/p>\n
In the wake of his diagnosis with throat cancer, Roberts seeks the answer with
\nsharp new urgency. He explores his own lifelong commitment to adventuring, as
\nwell as the cultural contributions of explorers throughout history.<\/p>\n
He looks at what it meant in 1911 for Amundsen to reach the South Pole or in
\n1953 for Hillary and Norgay to summit the highest point on earth. And he asks
\nwhat the future of adventure is in a world we have mapped and trodden all the
\nway to the most remote corners of the wilderness.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
