While viewing an often violent frontier world, Isabella was never harmed. One man told her, "There's nothing western folk admire so much as pluck in a woman." The courageous English lady left a perceptive record of everything she saw and experienced, a great piece of reporting on life on the American Frontier. Adrift: 76 Days Lost at Sea by Steven Callhan. Steven Callahan is the only man to have survived more than a month alone, at sea, in an inflatable in-flatable raft. When his sailboat sank west of the Canary Islands, he managed to escape with three pounds of food and eight pints of water. Constantly soaked by salt water and freezing at night and broiling by day, Callahan kept himself alive on a diet of raw fish. He weathered storms, shark attacks and a leaky raft. On the 76th day of his ordeal, he sighted land. His small raft had drifted more than 1800 miles from his original destination. He says, "Although the sea was my greatest enemy, it was also my greatest ally." This book is the author's account of his struggle to survive. Mountains of the Gods by Ian Cameron. The Himalaya, possibly the most magnificent mountains on earth are examined in this fine !' source book.

Cameron traces British exploration and follows climbers from the late 19th century to the present. The stories of well-known well-known figures are told as well as the lesser known. We've certainly heard about Hilary and Tenzing, but what about Fanny Workman, who scaled the glaciers of the Karakoram, carrying car-rying a sign demanding votes for women?
