Beyond the Limits

My admiration for Ran is unbounded and thank God he exists. The world would be a far duller place without him Informationen zum Autor Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Bt, OBE, is the world's most celebrated contemporary adventurer and explorer. A former member of the SAS, he has been a leader of major expeditions to both poles and elsewhere in the world for over thirty years. Klappentext Sir Ranulph Fiennes has been hailed by the GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS as the world's greatest living explorer. Now in his late fifties and still recovering from his latest expedition, an unsupported attempt to reach the North Pole which nearly cost him his life, he looks back on three decades of adventures in all corners of the globe and what he has learned from them. Reflecting on such diverse themes as the importance of choosing the right team, monitoring the opposition and dealing with the media, Sir Ranulph presents a breathtaking collection of photographs from his personal archive and discusses the - sometimes painful - lessons he has taken away from each expedition. From the famous and successful Transglobe voyage in the early 1980s to his life-threatening attempt on the North Pole in 2000, this is a riveting and enlightening insight into the life of an extraordinary man. * A lavishly illustrated survey of Sir Ranulph´s adventurous life and times, exploring the lessons learned from both successes and failures Zusammenfassung * A lavishly illustrated survey of Sir Ranulph's adventurous life and times, exploring the lessons learned from both successes and failures
