The New Age of Adventure

Join the intrepid National Geographic Adventure authors as they voyage to the ends of the earth and bring back the decade's most thrilling, eccentric, and extraordinary tales. In this tenth anniversary anthology, the authors do more than paint a portrait of the world's most extreme and fascinating environments—they also explore important questions about adventure in the 21st century.

These stories rocket readers across the roof of the world on the new high-speed railway in Tibet, describe the tension between Indian farmers and the sacred elephants besieging their villages, and introduce them to a shaman whom some believe can cure the most serious depressions.

This wide-ranging collection is a must-have for every road warrior and adventurer—armchair or otherwise.
