Rounding the Horn
by Dallas Murphy
With the heart of a novelist and the salty blood of a sailor, Dallas Murphy gives a rousing account of one of the most treacherous and storied spots on earth. For as far back as he can remember, Dallas Murphy has been sea-struck. Since he began to read, "besotted by salt-water dreams and nautical language," he studied the lore surrounding a place of mythic proportions: the ever-alluring Cape Horn. And after years of dreaming--and sailing--he finally made his voyage there. In this lively, thrilling blend of history, geography, and modern-day adventure, Murphy shows how the myth crossed wakes with his reality. Cape Horn is a buttressed pyramid of crumbly rock situated at the very bottom of South America--55 degrees 59 minutes South by 67 degrees 16 minutes West. It's a place of forlorn and foreboding beauty, one that has captured the dark imaginations of explorers and writers from Francis Drake to Joseph Conrad. For centuries, the small stretch of water between Cape Horn and the Antarctic peninsula was the only gateway between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and it's a place where the storms are bigger, the winds stronger, the seas rougher than anywhere else on earth. Rounding the Horn is the ultimate maritime rite of passage, and in Murphy's hands, it becomes a thrilling, exuberant tour. Weaving together stories of his own nautical adventures with long-lost tales of those who braved the Cape before him--from Spanish missionaries to Captain Cook--and interspersed with breathtaking descriptions of the surrounding wilderness, the result is a beautifully crafted, immensely enjoyable read.

Peru and Bolivia
by Hilary Bradt
The seventh edition of the book that launched Bradt Publications in 1974 has guided countless hikers through the Central Andes. The region is famous for its Inca roads, ruins and snow-covered mountains, but many trails lead the hiker down into the tropical eastern foothills with orchards of orange and lemon trees. Written for independent backpackers and those going on an organized trek, with hikes for all levels of experience, this guide has been the bible for a generation of backpackers in South America. Essential information on Lima, La Paz and key towns near trekking regions are included as well as equipment and health advice. Revised by South American resident Jane Letham and broadcaster John Pilkington, this is the most up-to-date guide available to walking in the Central Andes.
