New From Outside Books

Eric Swanson
>> To commemorate our 25th anniversary, Outside Books/W. W. Norton is releasing three new titles that celebrate the best of the wide, wild world. OUTSIDE 25: CLASSIC TALES AND NEW VOICES FROM THE FRONTIERS OF ADVENTURE ($26) picks up where our previous anthologies—Out of the Noosphere and The Best of Outside: The First Twenty Years—left off, collecting some of our favorite recent gems: Tim Cahill on Mali's forbidden salt mines. Sebastian Junger on the Caribbean's last harpooner. Paul Theroux on kayaking the Philippine isle of Palawan. Plus 27 more great writers.

>> We're also bringing you those writers' literary ancestors in DEAD RECKONING: GREAT ADVENTURE WRITING OF THE GOLDEN AGE OF EXPLORATION, 1800-1900 ($30), the sequel to our acclaimed 20th-century anthology, Points Unknown. Edited by Helen Whybrow, Dead Reckoning collects travel writing's earliest and grittiest, from Lewis and Clark and Sir Richard Burton to George Melville, who lived on deer offal for three years after his ship wrecked off Siberia, and Robert Louis Stevenson, who trekked the Cevennes with only a donkey and a leg of mutton.

>> Finally, THE POLAR BEAR WALTZ AND OTHER MOMENTS OF EPIC SILLINESS ($16) gathers the best Parting Shots, our classic final-page portraits of nature at her most flamboyant, offbeat, and outrageous. As our 25th anniversary year winds to a close, we hope youÕll stow these collections in your pack, under your bow, or on your donkey and take off for the far horizon.
