Survival Stories
Endurance, Alfred Lansing, 274 pages, Ages 14 and up. This is one of the greatest survival stories known to man. What makes it even more amazing is that it actually happened! In December, 1914, Ernest Shackleton commanded an expedition of 27 men. The goal was to cross over the South Pole on foot. The crew set sail on the Endurance, from Georgia island, about eight hundred miles from the Antarctic. The ship gets trapped by ice, and the men have to eventually abandon ship. Imagine trying to survive temperatures thirty five below zero. Ice cold winds. Sections of ice cracking beneath your feet, tossing you into a frigid death! The men endure hardships such as near starvation, gangrene and sea monsters rising from the oceans, hunting them across the ice. They had to eat their beloved sled dogs to survive, and even performed an amputation to save a man’s life. Your son will be amazed at this intense account of man’s indomitable will to survive. We only stock the version of this book that contains 35 photographs from the actual expedition. ISBN # 0786708425.

The Chicago Tribune review of this book sums it up: "One of the most gripping, suspenseful, intense stories anyone will ever read." Only available used, in good condition. $14.95. In stock.
