THE ART OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY, True Stories From A Life On The Edge by Richard Bangs is a compelling read with riveting prose by an adventurer who takes on remote rivers, white water rafting, islands, mountains–you name it–the more dangerous the better, as far as he is concerned. Bangs is a natural storyteller living life to the fullest and his riveting experiences are often funny, always exhilarating and sure to keep any reader’s adrenaline pumping.

Bangs founded Sobek Expeditions, the original and now the largest adventure travel company in the world, with over a million clients guided since its beginning. But this is not just a story of an unusual company, one that profoundly transformed the way we travel and experience the world. It presents true stories, both perilous and awe-inspiring, from the full array of adventure travel: trekking, climbing, sailing, diving, adventure cruising, kayaking, back-country skiing, mountaineering, biking, cultural immersions, canyoneering, and more. Sobek pioneered scores of adventures, from trekking in the Himalayas, to cruising the Galapagos and Antarctica, to first descents of some eighty rivers around the world. The author personally led thirty-five first river descents, capsizing on six continents (a unique, albeit dubious, distinction), and organized and led the first trips into North Korea, Libya, Yemen, Djibouti, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, New Guinea, Iran, and even China back in 1978. Sobek clients have included Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mick Jagger, Barry Diller, and Daryl Hannah. It is the shadow company behind National Geographic Adventures, New York Times Active Journeys, and Smithsonian Expeditions. This book traces fifty years of adventure travel and how it has evolved through times of war and peace, terrorism, the rise of the internet, the pandemic, and the first virtual expeditions.

ANOTHER STEP UP THE MOUNTAIN, A Journey of Courage by Dianette Wells with Brit Elders is a deeply profound and moving story that explores the bounds of grief, guilt, and the difficulty of denying oneself. Dianette Wells tells of her struggle balancing motherhood and her passion for mountaineering in an inspiring goal to climb the Seven Summits, the world’s highest peaks. Step by step, we climb with this bravest of women as she digs deep and finds strength and resilience to carry on. And, in the process, we find our very own strength and resilience. Finding one’s ultimate destiny and happiness, finding meaning and purpose in life, these are all tall orders. This amazing book is a heart-pounding testament to rediscovering the joys in life and the ways in which we can cherish the abilities that are intrinsic in us.
