Description: "To live in a tent, to invent trails, to dream of immensities, to spy , then reach far horizons; to flee from the destiny of the sedentary, to love the supreme freedom of the nomad above all... This is the life!"
Geography is a mirror: every nation sees itself first in its natural places. Here is a naturalist-photographer's "mirrors," his country's most beautiful faces: Hurtado is an eco-wanderer, a South American Edward Weston and John Burroughs, a self-taught, nomadic artist. He shows us what he has seen: hidden beaches, remote lakes, and unnamed volcanic craters; the little-explored rivers of the scorching Amazon; cryptic hieroglyphics graven on giant rocks by ancient aboriginal cultures; and the seductive landscapes of the Orinoco-many locations known only to Hurtado.
For those who love truly wild places, and photography through nature's eye, this is a new horizon.

Description: Fascinated by Patagonia since an early childhood lust for Grandma's scrap of hairy Giant Sloth skin, Chatwin's also intrigued by odd miners and the log cabin built by Butch Cassidy in Cholila. In 1977 the London Observer called it "a brilliant travel book," and while Chatwin's no longer alive (he died in 1989), his book still glows. From Rio Negro to the southernmost town of Ushuaia, Chatwin depicts all in writing as spare as the Patagonian desert itself, and as vibrant as the purple clouds off Last Hope Sound.

Description: Since its creation in 1968, the Galápagos National Park has been considered by UNESCO as one of the jewels of the planet. Long regarded as a mysterious and desolate archipelago, this wildlife paradise is a true showcase of evolution in action. In recent years, the newly developed Marine Reserve fulfils the ultimate purpose of the National Park Service—protection and conservation of the region, following decades of abuse by illegal fishing.
This guide describes the rich human history, the geology and origin of the islands, the "El Niño" phenomenon, the amazing natural history, villages and visitors' sites, and provides insights into the regions' fascinating residents—sea birds, endemic land birds, prehistoric reptiles, playful sea lions and the incomparably enchanting underwater world. 180 color photos, 70 maps.

Description: This beautifully-illustrated, photo guidebook, by author Kathy Doore, carries the reader on a journey of discovery through one of the most mystical and breathtaking places on earth- the Markawasi Stone Forest. First discovered in Peru in 1952, by Daniel Ruzo, who excitedly pronounced it the most important sculptured work existing on the earth today, and soaring 12,000 feet above the Pacific coast on the western-most ridge of the Peruvian Andes, Markawasi was virtually unknown to the English-speaking world a decade ago. Readers will undertake a journey through the pages of Markawasi, connecting the clues and evidence of a technologically and culturally advanced civilization that held the keys to all human knowledge. Markawasi details the account of an ancient lost humanity of mysterious origin, whose hidden legacy carved gigantic, towering, stone monuments, pointing to a message with predictions for the future. Cocooned in oblivion for eons and sculpted into the ancient landscape by a mysterious lost humanity, the Markawasi plateau reawakens at this pivotal moment in history. Contributing their thoughts on the enigma of Markawasi are a group of notable scientists and historians, including Boston University professor of geology and geophysics, Robert M. Schoch (best known for his re-dating of the Great Sphinx of Egypt), Machu Picchu archaeologist, Marino Sanchez, and Lima artist, Javier Ruzo, who comments on his grandfathers legacy. Journalist, Lisa Rome, contributes an historical retrospective, while Peter E. Schneider and Sean Adair provide stunning photography. Kathy Doore describes her own personal journey of awakening, as she weaves the cultural, historical, and often paranormal lore that is associated with the mesa into an incredible tapestry of dazzling images, illustrations, and walking maps. In addition to over 400 photos, maps, and illustrations are travel tips, a camping guide, and advice on high-altitude travel.
