South by Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton
This book is considered one of the great books of exploration, about what Shackleton himself called "the last great journey on earth". The book tells of the author's Antarctic expedition in which the Endurance was crushed by the ice, and he and his men made a 600-mile trek across ice and ocean to solid land, and then a 700-mile journey in an open boat to South Georgia, followed by an epic crossing of the uncharted mountains of that island. In this edition the text is illustrated with reproductions of the photographs of Frank Hurley - who accompanied the expedition - working directly from his original prints, and with other material, much of it unpublished, from the Royal Geographical Society and Scott Polar Institute archives.
Author's Bio: Vanessa King was born and raised in Chicago and is the mother of, now, four adult children. She loves people and is a humanitarian by nature. In an effort to help a sister on her journey to sobriety, wholeness, and back into mainstream society, Vanessa became a regular volunteer at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in Chicago. A group session at the facility-that she calls His Gift to Me: Poetry, Writing, and Reading-is designed to impart hope and encourage women and mothers to gain and redefine their self-worth and confidence, that Yes, they can.
