(1) 4-6 Ernest Shackleton's 1914-1916 Antarctic expedition was, in Armstrong's words, "one of the most incredible feats of survival ever recorded." Her captivating, complete account, which identifies and tracks practically every crew member and liberally employs quotes from crew diaries, will find an audience with the detail-oriented, want-to-know-it-all kind of reader. A stunning array of photographs lend startling immediacy to the story. Bib., ind.
