"Compelling . . . leaves the reader with a visceral understanding of the mysterious, even sublime power the poles have exerted on the human imagination, and the desolate beauty that resides there amid the glaciers and icebergs and penguins." -- Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times on Terra Incognita "Wheeler''s fascinating, witty bio reveals her wonderful eye for telling details." -- Entertainment Weekly on Too Close to the Sun "Utterly fascinating . . . Wheeler has given us an important new understanding of the most notorious calamity in the annals of twentieth-century exploration. Cherry is a wonderful book." -- Jon Krakauer, author of Into Thin Air on Cherry "Sara Wheeler''s travel books are insightful accounts of intrepid journeys . . . There are wry observations, astute close-readings, scathing critiques of Putin''s misrule, and numerous impressions on Russian quirks and foibles. Gilding the whole proceedings is Wheeler''s lyrical prose . . . We come away from this enthralling book wiser and happier--and with a pang or two of wanderlust." -- Malcolm Forbes, Minneapolis Star Tribune on Mud and Stars
