Krakauer Jon - Classic Krakauer Mark Foo's Last Ride After The Fall And Other Essays - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Spanning an extraordinary range of subjects and locations these ten gripping essays show why Jon Krakauer is considered a standard - bearer of modern journalism. His pieces take us from a horrifying avalanche on Mount Everest to a volcano poised to obliterate a big chunk of Seattle; from a wilderness teen - therapy program run by apparent sadists to an otherworldly cave in New Mexico studied by NAS a to better understand Mars; from the notebook of one Fred Beckey who catalogued the greatest unclimbed mountaineering routes on the planet to the last days of legendary surfer Mark Foo. Bringing together work originally published in such magazines as The New Yorker Outside and Smithsonian all rigorously researched vividly written and marked by an unerring instinct for storytelling and scoop Classic Krakauer powerfully demonstrates the author's ambivalent love affair with unruly landscapes and his relentless search for truth.
