Ultimate Adventurers

Ultimate Adventurers series.
This small-format title highlights risk-taking aviators--of airplanes, space shuttles, jet packs, hot air balloons, and more--and their aeronautical achievements. Readers will applaud their courage or question their sanity (or both). Browsers and aspiring aviators may relish the tidbit-style information, but tiny print and photos and a crowded layout diminish the book's usefulness. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind.

Ultimate Adventurers series.
This small-format title highlights cyclists, swimmers, mountaineers, kayakers, snowboarders, and other athletes who push themselves to the extremes of human limitation in pursuit of their achievements. Readers will applaud their courage or question their sanity (or both). Browsers and armchair athletes may relish the tidbit-style information, but tiny print and photos and a crowded layout diminish the book's usefulness. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind.
