D. on cannibalism\nRoald Amundsen on the explorer Stefansson\nMervyn Cowie on hunting killer lions\nJean-Marc Boivin on hang-gliding\nCurtis and Kathleen Saville on oceanic rowing\nE. W. Deming on Sitting Bulls mysterious death\n\nIts some of the finest writing on some of the most hair-raising journeys ever made, all selected by editor George Plimpton, himself a member of The Explorers Club.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946836881461,"sku":"ByrdShop_1592280358","price":59.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781592280353_f3f83395-8aa0-487f-acdc-883ba2e42d2b.jpg?v=1778665154","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/as-told-at-the-explorers-club-more-than-fifty-gripping-tales-of-adventure-9781592280353","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
