Book excerpt: It has been two years since former federal army officer turned museum professor, John Morton, was recruited into a secret government agency and fell in love with a beautiful special agent / assassin while attempting to stop two renegade scientists determined to destroy the post-Civil War Union. But now just as he and Julia begin to build a wedded life together, her former boss reappears and shatters their peaceful existence with another assignment. After they are recruited to confront a new danger threatening to instigate a new Indian war, John, Julia, and their former team that includes Father Peter Harrigan and genius black inventor Isaiah embark on a return expedition to the untamed western territories. As they face monster machines and dangers from Earth's past, now only time will tell if they can survive the new horror associated with an international criminal cartel and stop a looming war, before it is too late for all of them. In this continuing science fiction tale, a museum professor and his former special agent wife must gather their eclectic team and attempt to complete another dangerous assignment in a land threatened by the possibility of another ghastly war.

Book excerpt: Beneath the ice at the bottom of the Earth is a magnificent subterranean labyrinth, a place of breathtaking wonders—and terrors beyond imagining. A team of specialists led by archaeologist Ashley Carter has been hand-picked to explore this secret place and to uncover the riches it holds. But they are not the first to venture here—and those they follow did not return. There are mysteries here older than time, and revelations that could change the world. But there are also things that should not be disturbed—and a devastating truth that could doom Ashley and the expedition: they are not alone. With all the trademark elements that have made James Rollins a bestselling author around the world—pulse-pounding adventure, scientific intrigue, nail-biting suspense—Subterranean deserves a place in every thriller lover's collection. Even if you've read it before, you won't want to put this classic Rollins down.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Heart-stopping and relentlessly gripping. Tabor takes us on an odyssey into unfathomable worlds beneath us, and into the hearts of rare explorers who will do anything to get there first.”—Robert Kurson, author of ShadowDivers In 2004, two great scientist-explorers attempted to find the bottom of the world. American Bill Stone took on the vast, deadly Cheve Cave in southern Mexico. Ukrainian Alexander Klimchouk targeted Krubera, a freezing nightmare of a supercave in the war-torn former Soviet republic of Georgia. Both men spent months almost two vertical miles deep, contending with thousand-foot drops, raging whitewater rivers, monstrous waterfalls, mile-long belly crawls, and the psychological horrors produced by weeks in absolute darkness, beyond all hope of rescue. Based on his unprecedented access to logs and journals as well as hours of personal interviews, James Tabor has crafted a thrilling exploration of man’s timeless urge to discover—and of two extraordinary men whose pursuit of greatness led them to the heights of triumph and the depths of tragedy. Blind Descent is an unforgettable addition to the classic literature of true-life adventure, and a testament to human survival and endurance. “Holds the reader to his seat, containing dangers aplenty with deadly falls, killer microbes, sudden burial, asphyxiation, claustrophobia, anxiety, and hallucinations far underneath the ground in a lightless world. Using a pulse-pounding narrative, this is tense real-life adventure pitting two master cavers mirroring the cold war with very uncommonly high stakes.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “A fascinating and informative introduction to the sport of cave diving, as well as a dramatic portrayal of a significant man-vs.-nature conflict. . . . What counts is Tabor’s knack for maximizing dramatic potential, while also managing to be informative and attentive to the major personalities associated with the most important cave explorations of the last two decades.”—Kirkus Reviews Includes a 16-pg black and white insert

Book excerpt: "With an increase in visits to remote and dangerous locations around the world, the number of serious and fatal injuries and illnesses associated with these expeditions has markedly increased. Thus, so has the need for medical personnel trained specifically to handle the health risks that are faced when far removed from professional care resources." "Expedition and Wilderness Medicine covers everything a prospective field physician or medical consultant needs to prepare for when beginning an expedition. Divided into three parts "Expedition Planning," "Expeditions in Unique Environments," and "Illness and Injuries on Expeditions," - this unique book covers everything that the expedition physician needs to know."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection focuses on different expeditions and their role in the process of knowledge acquisition from the eighteenth century onwards. It investigates various forms of scientific practice conducted during, after and before expeditions, and it places this discussion into the scientific context of experiments. In treating expeditions as experiments in a heuristic sense, we also propose that the expedition is a variation on the laboratory in which different practices can be conducted and where the transformation of uncertain into certain knowledge is tested. The experimental positioning of the expedition brings together an ensemble of techniques, strategies, material agents and social actors, and illuminates the steps leading from observation to facts and documentation. The chapters show the variety of scientific interests that motivated expeditions with their focus on natural history, geology, ichthyology, botany, zoology, helminthology, speleology, physical anthropology, oceanography, meteorology and magnetism.

Book excerpt: Shine a light into the unknown There are still dark corners of our planet that are yet to be explored. In this remarkable book, Steve Backshall offers an unflinching account of his adventures into these uncharted territories around the globe, in search of world firsts. Each location brings its own epic challenges - whether it's the first climb of an arctic ice fall in Greenland, the first recorded navigation of a South American river, or the first exploration of the world’s longest cave system in Mexico. But all of them represent new tests of the limits of human endeavour. Accompanying a major 10-part series on BBC and Dave, Expedition is a breathtaking journey into the unknown, and a brilliantly written celebration of the pleasures of genuine discovery.
