About This Item
San Francisco: Sierra Club Books, 1999. Second printing. Hardcover. A near fine copy in a near fine dust jacket. This copy is inscribed by the author on the front endpaper: "To Adventures / yet to / share / (signed) Richard Bangs." As compelling as Into Thin Air and The Perfect Storm, this harrrowing story of river rafting examines the high risk and high adventure at the heart of modern-day explorations. In the early 70s, in a quest to run the last unexplored rivers of Africa, two young men drowned: one a client on this first river expedition; the other Richard Bang's rafting partner and best friend, Lew Greenwald. Twenty-three years later, Bangs returned with survivors of the earlier expeditions to complete what was left undone, to run the Tekeze. Gold sticker to front cover announcing Winner National Outdoor Book Award. Illustrated from photographs, 267 pages.
