Overview
The books in this series are in magazine format, each presenting five true-life tales of people who pursued their dreams and embarked on epic adventures in physically extreme environments: high mountains, dangerous seas, the North and South Poles, unexplored lands—even the sky. Numerous maps, photographs, and illustrations are included alongside stories that demonstrate what people are capable of achieving. The second installment details the accomplishments of Filippides; Gertrude Ederle; Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay; Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins; and Dian Fossey.Author Biography
