Edition Notes
"Comprising some of Derek Grzelewski's best published work to date, these stories explore and reveal a deeper meaning of the extreme. They transport you to extraordinary, unexpected and inaccessible places, and into encounters with exponents of the extreme, some elite, others seemingly ordinary. The extreme is not just the edge in outdoor exploits like hunting for gold and sunken treasures, climbing mountains and scuba diving in caves, or in maritime and avalanche rescues and pioneering aviation. It can also be found in saving endangered species, the tenacity of lichens surviving in outer space, rebuilding a life after an accident, the desire to discover the unknown, the quest for freedom"--Cover flap.
