First Edition
Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Shadows on the Wasteland. When Sir Ranulph Fiennes and Mike Stroud ended their journey on foot across Antarctica earlier this year, they were frostbitten and close to starvation. They had made the first coast to coast crossing of the continent unsupported by men, animals or machines and were too weak to continue over the floating Ross ice-shelf to open water. They had begun ninety-five days earlier by pulling nearly 500lbs each of essential food and fuel on sledges and on the way endured windchill temperatures as low as minus 85 degrees celcius. Mike Stroud, doctor, nutritionist and survival consultant to the Ministry of Defence, is no stranger to the Polar regions, north and south. He was previously a member of the Swan/Mear 'In the Footsteps of Scott' Expedition and has made several attempts with Fiennes to reach the North Pole- from Canada and Russia - over crumbling asea ice. His account of their 1,350-mile traverse at the South Pole is as moving as it is surprising, for his terriroty is also the no-man's land where mind and body interact, and psychological as well as physical stress provide a greater challenge than the landscape and the weather. Few will fail to be gripped by his revelation of what happens when habits and fears, misconceptions and self-esteem, compassion and resentments, fortitude and physical limitations are magnified and brought into collision in a one-to-one relationship over a long period in the close proximity of death. Illustrated. 182 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
