Vintage, New York, 2003. First trade paperback edition. Condition: Near fine, very light edge and corner wear.In his latest collection of death-defying exploits and far-flung travels, Outside Magazine editor Tim Cahill visits the side of an active volcano in Ecuador, the Saharan salt mines and the largest toxic waste dump in the Western Hemisphere.

Cahill is one of the last great intrepid journalists, and his thirty wildly entertaining essays display sparkling wit and unstinting curiosity.

Whether observing family values among the Stone Age Dani people, or sampling delicacies like sautéed sago beetle and pre-masticated manioc beer, Cahill is a fount of arcane information and a master of self-deprecating humor.

Condition: Fine in near fine dust jacket. Very slight edge nicks at corners. Deluxe hardcover edition.In a transformed mid-nineteenth century America dominated by plantation owners and kept in line by Southern military forces, a mild-mannered academic from Main, Professor Joshua Chamberlain, stands accused of crimes against the nation. In court alongside him is Abraham Lincoln, whose fiery rhetoric brands him a "threat to the security of the United States of America." Convicted, Chamberlain is sentenced to forty years hard labor, while Lincoln's fate is indefinite detention at Fortress Monroe. But Professor Chamberlain then encounters military minds who understand the true ideals upon which the country was founded and who want to foment revolution. To succeed, they need a leader, someone to inspire the people to take up the cause of liberty: Lincoln. All they have to do is flawlessly execute a daring plan to rescue him from the darkest federal prison.
