I Could Not Put This Book Down....
I took the book to work with me and found every possible moment to read it and totally absorb it's contents. Twenty-eight men survived the most horrendous situation imaginable by any human being...it makes the normal hardships that we live with seem trivial to say the least. In 1914, there were no cell phones, satelite systems for communication....these men were left with their ...

Penguin Classics, 2004

Great account of adventure and survival in Antarctica.
This is one of the best survival/adventure stories that you will ever read. The events which take place during the Imperial Trans Antarctic Expedition of 1914-1917 are re-told by several different points of view and this gives the overall story a multi-faceted persona. The main re-telling of the story of the ENDURANCE is told primarily from Shackleton's point of view and re-affirmed through ...

You've read the book(s) now see the film
Frank Hurley's book is a mastepiece of photographic art. Having read many Antarctic books already, particularly "South" the story of the endurance expedition, I devoured this book to see the whole story in detail. The book is a work of technical genius and without artistic equal among work of that era, particularly when you realise what awful conditions he worked under. The notes accompanying the ...

Alfred A. Knopf Incorporated, 1998

A remarkable account that takes you with the explorers
This expedition was a failure in that Shackleton and his fellow explorers never accomplished the intended exploration. But this is a monumental story of survival I haven't read anything like this since, I believe, I was in my teens and engrossed in the arctic and antarctic explorations.The ship which carried the men to the South polar region was aptly named although the ship itself was ...

Excellent Book. Most comprensive one I've seen so far
This is an excellent book. I first used this book to secure my home network and then I lent it to my IT dept at work and we had a fully functional fully secure wireless network up in a week! At over 700 pages this book is a compendium of Information on Wireless technologies as well as wireless Security and is a collaboration between 11 authors. Information is well organized and there are ...

The Guide that I needed
I purchased this book based on the recommendation from a friend in my DC Group. This book was exactly what I was looking for. I have been trying to find a book that had enough technical information that I wasn't bored, but that presented it in an easy to read, step by step manner. WarDriving delivered. The book begins by giving a pretty cool history of WarDriving and then moves into two ...

Antarctic Eyewitness: South With Mawson and Shackleton's Argonauts

Frank Hurley, Charles Laseron

HarperCollinsPublishers PTY Limited, 2000

Two great accounts of two great expeditions
This new book combines Charles Laseron's 1947 "South With Mawson" and Frank Hurley's 1948 "Shackleton's Argonauts" in one volume, continuing the wonderful flood of reprints relating to the heroic era of Antarctic exploration. Laseron's account of the 1912 Mawson expedition is full of human interest, and makes a useful adjunct to Mawson's own, somewhat drier account in "Home of the Blizzard." ...
