{"product_id":"accidental-adventures","title":"Accidental Adventures","description":"America's fascination with Alaska began at the turn of the last century, when Jack London and John Muir captivated readers with their fiction and nonfiction stories--and continues today with such popular books as Into the Wild and the explosion of Alaska reality TV shows. In such a giant and forbidding place, people lose their way. They hurt themselves. Their equipment fails. They clash with wildlife. And in Alaska, one stroke of bad luck--one small mistake--can mean catastrophe. This book recounts twenty true misadventures, all but one told from the survivor's point of view. Its chapters describe getting lost in the wilderness, bear attacks, dead-stick landings, snowmobile mishaps , overturned canoes, and even escape from a steaming volcano. Told as cautionary tales, these chapters are not only a nail-biting good read on their own, but an illustration of the many perils of living, working, and recreating in the Last Frontier.","brand":"Landmark Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46456710332656,"sku":"9781493044757","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/1385\/8477\/files\/content_d29cac5c-91af-44d2-8b22-14b26743437f.jpg?v=1723222765","url":"https:\/\/shop.landmarkbooksellers.com\/products\/accidental-adventures","provider":"Landmark Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
