Amazon.com description: Product Description: Adrenaline Books' search for the world's best, most exciting writing has taken readers from the peaks of Everest to the jungles of Papua New Guinea. "Storm" reveals first-hand accounts of battling with the elements: hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes and sand storms - in mountains, seas, plains, and jungles. Included are contributions from sailors, climbers, adven-tures, and other hardy souls; people like Patrick O'Brian, Stephen Venables, Chris Bonnington, Sebastian Junger, Joseph Conrad and Apsley Cherry-Garrard. Full of harrowing adventures that test human endurance, this volume contains stories of individuals who must fight to stay alive. Barry Lopez is trapped among arctic floes by a sudden squall; Art Davidson's team freezes in a wind storm on Mount McKinley as the temperature hits 148 degrees below zero; an idyllic sail turns tragic when Gordon Chaplin loses his ship and his lover in a South Pacific typhoon. Adrenaline Books presents the latest instalment of the most thrilling accounts of men and women facing the full force of nature's fury.
