Publisher's Summary:

Sole Survivor, based on three years of interviews with Poon, reconstructs his remarkable ordeal. We learn of a ship's crew that saw him but refused to pick him up; his ingenious ways of trapping water and catching fish (later used in U.S. Navy training films); his reaching land, only to find it an impenetrable jungle. When he was finally rescued at the mouth of the Amazon River, Poon was hailed as the "World's Champion Survivor." He still holds the Guinness world record for survival at sea. His story is an amazing tale of a young man's fortitude in the face of overwhelming odds.

Critic Reviews:

"Poon's experience makes for a dignified, uplifting adventure tale." (Publishers Weekly) "A vivid account of how one man used his intelligence and ingenuity to survive against incredible odds." (School Library Journal)

Title: Far Appalachia

Subtitle: Following the New River North

Author: Noah Adams

Narrator: Noah Adams

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs

Language: English

Release date: 04-10-01

Publisher: Random House Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 60 votes

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Adventure & Exploration

Publisher's Summary:

Noah Adams has Appalachia in his blood. A native of eastern Kentucky, he comes to the headwaters of the New River not just in search of adventure but to better understand this own unique heritage. Following the New River from its mile-high source on North Carolina's Snake Mountain to its West Virginia mouth, Adams travels by Jeep and by bicycle, by foot and, most thrillingly, by white-water raft to explore the history, natural beauty, and fascinating characters waiting around every bend and turn.

Distilling history from legend, Adams tells of men and women whose lives crossed the New River before him, including Daniel Boone, fleeing his farming family in search of wilderness, and Cherokee Indians, driven west on their Trail of Tears. Along the way Adams paints a luminous portrait of a land and a people as richly vital and complex as America itself. With Adams' hushed, intimate tone, Far Appalachia mesmerizes and haunts like the bluegrass music that still rings through the mountains and valleys in which it was born.

Critic Reviews:

"Whether white-water rafters or just along for the ride, [listeners] will find Adams' story of a year following the New River full of ...quiet, and often unexpected, grace." - (Publishers Weekly)

Title: The Grand Canyon

Author: Donald Davis

Narrator: Donald Davis

Format: Abridged

Length: 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-20-00

Publisher: August House

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 21 votes

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Adventure & Exploration

Publisher's Summary:

Listening to Donald Davis, you won't have any trouble visualizing it: the gleeful anticipation, the encounter with the psyche of "your own, personal mule", and the first-hand experience of a natural wonder. Davis interweaves his humor around vivid details of perhaps the most remarkable experience offered by an American national park.

For Ages 10 to Adult

Editorial Reviews:

With his rich Southern accent, storyteller Donald Davis takes listeners traveling to the Grand Canyon and to the Appalachians. When Davis first encountered the income tax as a boy, his father suggested he read the federal budget until he found where he wanted his money to go. Davis decreed his personal ownership of the national parks. Half of this audio tells of his first visit, recently, to the Grand Canyon. After a harrowing, hilarious journey on muleback, told with deadpan earnestness, Davis is ready to give his share of that park away. The following tales of childhood visits to his grandparents' log cabin in Appalachia have classic "scary story" features and warm family resolutions.

Critic Reviews:

"Donald Davis is one of the nation's most popular storytellers. A master of timing, Davis measures some sentences drop by drop, pouring others out like water from a pitcher." (Smithsonian Magazine)

Title: The Voyage of the Beagle

Author: Charles Darwin

Narrator: John Franklyn-Robbins

Format: Abridged

Length: 4 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-16-99

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Adventure & Exploration

Publisher's Summary:

Charles Darwin was appointed naturalist aboard the H.M.S. Beagle, which left England in 1831 to map the coast of South America and then circumnavigate the globe. As Darwin explored, he came to dispute the idea that catastrophic upheaval created mountains and shaped the earth - and if geological change came slowly, could not living species also evolve the same way? As his journey continued to the Galapagos Islands, New Zealand, and Australia, his theories crystallized. Returning to England in 1836, he published his journal. It became an immediate best seller and a classic of natural history.

(P)1994 by Recorded Books, Inc.

Editorial Reviews:

In a distinguished, kindly, and English-inflected voice that seems like it could belong to Charles Darwin himself, John Franklyn-Robbins performs the journal that established Darwin as the preeminent naturalist of his time, The Voyage of the Beagle. Undertaken when Darwin was in his early 20s, the voyage lasted nearly five years and took the young man through South America and into various islands in Australasia. At once a vivid and colorful memoir of exploration and adventure, The Voyage of the Beagle also introduces the listener to the budding ideas that would lead to Darwins shattering thesis, On the Origin of Species.

Title: Sailing Alone Around the World

Author: Captain Joshua Slocum

Narrator: Nelson Runger

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 36 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-16-99

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 87 votes

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Adventure & Exploration

Publisher's Summary:

In 1895, when Captain Joshua Slocum completed the first solo circumnavigation on his 37-foot sloop, the

Spray, no one believed it could be done. This firsthand account of Captain Slocum's remarkable voyage - 3 years and 46,000 miles - is full of adventures, dangers, and triumphs. Stormy seas, hostile natives, Moorish pirates, and even a bizarre meeting with President Paul Kruger of the Transvaal, who insisted that Slocum could never have sailed "around the world," since everyone with the meanest intelligence knew the world was flat, make up the fabric of the most wonderful travelogue of all.

Editorial Reviews:

Joshua Slocum spent just enough time on dry land to find a wife. Together, they had seven children, all of them born either at sea or in a foreign port. Captain Slocum may have been the most committed sailor since Odysseus, and Sailing Alone Around the World is his finest testament.

In 1895, Slocum boarded his 36-foot vessel named The Spray and set out on a course that would last three years and cover over 46,000 miles. He relates his experiences of Indian attacks, pirate attacks, loneliness, and Transvaal President Paul Kruger, who still believed the world was flat. Performed by the friendly-voiced Nelson Runger, some consider Sailing Alone Around the World to be the best travelogue of all time.

Critic Reviews:

"The classic of its kind." (Travel World)

Title: A 1000-Mile Walk on the Beach

Subtitle: One Woman's Trek of the Perimeter of Lake Michigan

Author: Loreen Niewenhuis

Narrator: Loreen Niewenhuis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-10-14

Publisher: Loreen Niewenhuis

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 22 votes

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Adventure & Exploration

Publisher's Summary:

In 2009, Loreen Niewenhuis walked completely around Lake Michigan. This audiobook chronicles that journey, a 1,000-mile walk around the world's fifth-largest lake. The audiobook explores both the geology of the lake and the measure of a person - a woman, married, mother of two sons (who joined her for portions of the walk). But most of the walk was done solo, an adventure in discovery of self and place.

Niewenhuis conveys a sense of the magnitude of the lake she loves, a place so elemental to the four Midwestern states that form its shores. From a ground-level perspective, the audiobook explores the natural and human history of Lake Michiganand raises important questions about preserving our wild places and protecting fragile ecosystems on which we all depend.

Titel: Couchsurfing im Iran

Autor:: Stephan Orth

Erzähler: Roland Wolf

Format: Unabridged

Spieldauer: 6 hrs and 42 mins

Sprache: Deutsch

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 02-15-16

Herausgeber: Der Hörverlag

Bewertung: 4 von 5 von 2 Stimmen

Kategorien: Travel & Adventure, Adventure & Exploration

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Iran: Urlaub auf der "Achse des Bösen"

Es ist offiziell verboten. Trotzdem reist Stephan Orth als Couchsurfer kreuz und quer durch den Iran, schläft auf Dutzenden von Perserteppichen, erlebt irrwitzige Abenteuer - und lernt dabei ein Land kennen, das so gar nicht zum Bild des Schurkenstaates passt. Denn die Iraner sind nicht nur Weltmeister in Sachen Gastfreundschaft, sondern auch darin, den Mullahs ein Schnippchen zu schlagen.

Ob beim Rotwein-Besäufnis mit einem persischen Prinzen oder bei einem Wohnzimmer-Date mit versammelter Großfamilie, im stinkenden Schmugglerbus oder im rasenden Kleinwagen: Jede neue Begegnung fügt sich als Puzzleteil ein in das Gesamtbild eines Landes, dessen Realität komplett anders ist, als die Klischees vermuten lassen.

Ein mitreißend erzählter Reisebericht über die kleinen Freiheiten und großen Sehnsüchte der Iraner.

Title: Chai & Chapati

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 36 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-11-16

Publisher: Peter O'Neil

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Travel & Adventure, Adventure & Exploration

Publisher's Summary:

The travel bug bit author Peter O'Neil at a young age, propelling him out of his comfort zone and into a life of teaching and globetrotting. When the middle-school math teacher accepts a job at an international school in New Delhi, he embraces the opportunity to immerse himself in life in one of India's largest cities.

But a chance encounter with five cousins from the Kassana family at a lesser-known tourist site in Delhi offers O'Neil the opportunity to step away from the comforts of expatriate living and experience life in rural India.

In their early twenties, the five men are members of the Gurjar caste - one of the lower castes - and barely able to communicate in English. Somehow, despite the significant differences in language, culture, and socioeconomic status, O'Neil and the cousins travel together to some of the country's most rural villages, experiencing plenty of adventures along the way.

Documenting the country's mosaic of color and contradiction, O'Neil introduces listeners to India in all its splendor and suffering, taking them beyond the common sightseer spots and stereotypes to the heart and soul of the subcontinent.
