Yan can spend hours at a taxidermist's window, longing to know the names of the birds. Give him a patch of woods, a friend like Sam, and the old woodsman Caleb, and that hunger becomes a life: a teepee to raise, tracks to read, a bow to make, a camp to keep going.

Woodcraft (Illustrated)

New York, 1884: a Pennsylvania shoemaker who weighs little more than a hundred pounds writes down how to travel for weeks through the wilderness with twenty-six pounds of duffle.

King Solomon’s Mines

Far beyond the familiar roads of southern Africa, where the desert gives way to mountains that no living traveller has crossed and returned to describe, an ancient map points towards a forgotten kingdom and the fabulous treasure once attributed to King Solomon.
