Alaskan Melodrama in the Style of Reader's Digest.......2006-07-18

I think reading any work should teach you something, and tales of wilderness incidents should not simply be armchair rubbernecking. This book is a collection of true incidents involving sportsman, backcountry travelers, and bush pilots. Their misfortunes could have been models for preventing readers from finding themselves in similar situations. Kaniut misses this opportunity. Instead of an analysis of the actions that saved the subjects (or cost them their lives), most stories are just circular and pointless recollections of how scary it was having a bear drag you around/being submerged in freezing water/crashing a plane in the backcountry, etc. According to this book, surviving these incidents simply requires some really hard praying, but reaffirms one's love of life and/or faith in god. It's akin to seeing dozens of people pulled from a wrecked plane and saying "WOW, what a miracle!!" while ignoring what the pilot did in the last seconds, recognizing the crew for an efficient evacuation, and acknowledging the skill and training of the ground emergency response crews. Kaniut would relate being mauled by a bear, the conclusion being that this was a terrible attack by a viscous animal, but god smiled and saved the day. In contrast, an NGS story I read after Danger Stalks about several bear attacks on hunters taught me (if I was inclined) how not to handle kills and seasonal factors that could emerge in the future that would make bears more aggressive, all the while infusing the human emotional element of these attacks. A serious missed opportunity is analyzing bush pilots' incidents. This book could have served as an excellent resource for this otherwise dry and difficult to find info (you can read FAA/NASA reports, but they often lack analysis, can be hard to sort through, and often simply blame "pilot error leading to..."); but the reader will have to find their own lessons in the aircraft incidents, if Kaniut provided enough detail between the sermons and anecdotes. Thus distilled, Danger Stalks is either just reflective of the human fascination with other's bad luck or a fluffy triumph of the human spirit book.

First of all, let me just say that I read a lot of non-fiction books about adventure (Jon Krakauer's books, Spike Walker's "Working on the Edge", Greg Child, etc.). I found this book to be boring and uninspiring. The problem is this:
Most of the stories are either far too short to get into (some are even comprised of 2 pages) or just plain boring. The overtly religious overtones of each story were kind of an annoyance, but easy to overlook, and stick with the story. Had I been Mr. Kanuit, I would have chosen 6 of the best stories, (if indeed there were 6 decent stories in here) and written them with far more detail than he does (some stories of lost persons jump from day 1 to day 5, and so on). The few decent stories are hard to come by. I would liken this book to buying a CD for 2 or 3 good songs, with the rest being just filler.
Another annoyance of Mr. Kanuit's writing style is his use of words to describe certain things (he constantly refers to snowmobiles as "snowmachines". Is he from the 19th century or something)?
I feel that I really gave this book a chance, but wouldnt recommend it to anyone. There are just far too many better written and more entertaining books about adventure out there to choose from, rather than settling for this mish-mash.

OK but spare us the ellipses . . . please.......2006-04-22

I really enjoyed many of the stories that Mr. Kanuit wrote. I only have two complaints:

1) There is a religious overtone to the book that is annoying and unnecessary and

2) The segues to the next story are ridiculous, overdramatic and cheesy.

I don't mind a little religion to the book but there are many gratuitous references that are needless and unnecessary to the story. For example, it seems realistic for a downed pilot to get a little religion while waiting to be rescued but some of the other references are distracting. I began to believe that Mr. Kanuit was trying to put as many references to churches or pastors as he could.

The segues are silly and I stopped reading them after the second story. For example, he writes: "As we learn from our experience, we gain valued insight that might sav our lives or the lives or others we may seek to find. . . as Jerry Olson did." Then the next chapter was about Jerry Olson. Or "As you leave your driveway in Alaska, you'd better be prepared because danger stalks the land . . . as the kayakers of Blackstone Bay discovered." The next chapter is about the trials of the kayakers of Blackstone Bay. His overuse of ellipses was silly and overdramatic.

However, some of his stories are amazing. I especially enjoyed some of the mountain man stories and stories of survival that were against the odds.

If you are going to Alaska, think about reading this........2005-01-12

Larry Kaniut is the king of Alaskan, true-life stories of adventure and survival. He has made a franchise Alaskan bear attacks and tales from tragedy to the miraculous and written a library of white-knuckled reading. It's car accident stuff that you can't put down until you know how it turns out. It at once makes you glad to be in a secure place and at the same time it calls you out to the wilds.

The individual stories were selected to represent a wide variety of themes. A few of the stories get repetitive, like the downed bush plane stories. Then again, if you read the Anchorage Daily, you get the same feeling of déjà vu.

With the thrills, comes education about being prepared. One of the amazing things about the book is that the majority of these stories do not come from isolated wilderness but mostly within just a few miles of the road. I read it just before a trip to Alaska and it changed the landscapes I was driving through. Driving down the Seward Highway I realized - that's where that lady was airlifted out, that was where newlyweds drowned, that's where a man lost his hunting buddy. It points out that this is Alaska and your decisions can be as important as life and death here.

This book made me want to stay indoors forever.......2003-10-14

I could not put this book down. It is so gruesome, but every story is true! There are bear attacks, people falling through ice, plane crashes, ice storms...you name it; if it can happen in Alaska, then someone has lived to tell about it! I find it facinating to read about unbearable situations that people have survived. This book isn't for those of you who don't want to read the gory details, but if that's what you live for, then this is your book!!

In 1978 Jim Wickwire became the first American to top 28,250-foot K2, the second highest peak after Mt. Everest (for some, his solo bivouac near the summit the same night is an even greater feat). But it is a previous expedition to K2 three years earlier--and the author's unflinching assessment of that trip--which sets the tone for the book. "K2, the mountain that would one day represent my greatest success," he writes, "was in 1975 the scene of my greatest failure. It was a failure not because someone died or suffered a serious injury, but because my obsession to reach the summit helped doom our expedition to disappointment, discord, and, for a time, disgrace." Wickwire's memoir of a climbing life is riveting when he sticks to the mountains--including attempts on Everest, Denali, and Aconcagua--and particularly fascinating for its candid look at the internal machinations of big-time climbing expeditions: the planning, logistics, and training as well as the egos and rivalries that can derail an expedition. The lugubrious details are also here. More than one climbing partner doesn't escape from a crevasse, but it is a price exacted by the mountains, and Wickwire treats both his lost friends and the terrain with due respect.

Book Description

Adventurist Jim Wickwire has lived life on the edge -- literally. An eyewitness to glory, terror, and tragedy above 20,000 feet, he has braved bitter cold, blinding storms, and avalanches to become what the Los Angeles Times calls "one of America's most extraordinary and accomplished high-altitude mountaineers." Although his incredible exploits have inspired a feature on 60 Minutes, an award-winning PBS documentary, a Broadway play, and a full-length film, he hasn't told his remarkable story in his own words -- until now.

Among the world's most intrepid and fearless climbers, Jim Wickwire has traveled the globe, from Alaska to the Alps, from the Andes to the Himalayas, in search of fresh challenges and new heights to conquer. Along the way he accumulated an extraordinary roster of historic achievements. He was one of the first two Americans to reach the summit of the 28,250-foot K2, the world's second highest peak, acknowledged as the toughest and most dangerous to climb. He completed the first alpine-style ascent of Alaska's forbidding Mt. McKinley, spending several nights without tents in snowcaves, crevasses, and open bivouacs. But with the triumphs came harrowing incidents of suffering and loss that haunt him still. On one climb, his shoulder broken by a fall, he watched helplessly as a friend slowly froze to death, trapped in an ice crevasse. Buffeted by storms, Wickwire spent two weeks utterly alone on a remote glacier before his rescue. On two other expeditions he witnessed three fellow climbers plunge thousands of feet, vanishing into the mountain mist.

A successful Seattle attorney, Wickwire climbed his first mountain in 1960 and discovered the wonder of leaving behind the complexities of the civilized world for the pure life-and-death logic of granite, glacier, and snow. Deeply compelled by the allure of nature and the thrill of risk, he pushed himself to the limits of physical and mental endurance for thirty-five years, ultimately climbing into legend.

After more than three decades of uncommon challenges, Wickwire faced a crisis of heart -- a turning point that threatened his faith in himself and his hope in the future. How he reassessed his priorities and rededicated his life -- to his family and to his community -- completes a unique and moving portrait of one man's courage, commitment , and grace under pressure. Addicted to Danger is a tale of adventure in its truest sense.

Great Successes and FAILURES in Mountaineering.......2005-12-07

All too often we read about the awesome success stories of mountaineers. I like how Jim shares his successes and failures on the world's highest mountains. Although Jim's adventures are on a grander scale than my own (see Rocky Mountain Adventure Collection), we both go out of our way to share the "failures." When facing the extreme forces of nature, you can't always reach the summit. There are many times you must choose between attaining your goal, or surviving. Jim had the brains to choose life when faced with many decisions that could have cost him his life. I was pleased to read that we both regard Reinhold Messner as the greatest mountaineer of all! I also enjoyed hearing about Jim's struggles to balance his climbing desires against his family's needs. There is no doubt his family suffered while he was out fulfilling his mountaineering desires. On one hand, he had to climb while he had his health and youth. On the other hand, he lost invaluable time with his family that is forever lost. Even though I've fantasized about devoting years to climbing like Jim did, I realize that you have obligations once you decide to become a husband and a father. My family comes before my "selfish" desires of climbing.

He Can't Explain.......2005-10-07

This is a great book to read if you want to learn more about Jim Wickwire and some of the mountaineering greats of the modern era. If you want a well-written book that makes you feel as though you're climbing a lonely peak in bitter cold yourself, read Krakauer's "Into Thin Air." For all the time Wickwire has spent in amazing and beautiful surroundings, he seems largely unable to describe them. Wickwire's story telling always seems focused on the action and never on the scenery. Half the mountaineering terms he tosses around are only explained in the glossary you find in the back of the book.

It was interesting to me how the writing about non-climbing related aspects of his life are presented in a fairly lively manner while his accounts of his early expeditions seem to have been copied out of his journal without much in the way of revision. This book would really have benefited from a vigorous, professional editing. In fact, his publisher should have demanded it. Wickwire certainly has a story or two to tell and it was irritating to for me to be distracted by his clunky writing.

All that being said, he has led an interesting life in the mold of the classic Victorian gentleman explorer-gone for months at a time, knowing his wife and children (five!) only through the post. People have called him narcissistic, self-centered, and monomaniacal. All true to some degree, I am sure, but how else would you expect him to have accomplished so much? His list of mountaineering accomplishments, included here in loving detail, is astonishing.

Reading this book never answered for me the question of "why?" Why take these huge risks time after time? As someone who has been willing to push myself to the point of hallucination for nothing more than bragging rights and a t-shirt or belt buckle, I should have a pretty good handle on the "why" question, but I don't. That is perhaps why he doesn't really tell us "why" in this book. Maybe he really doesn't know either. Maybe it's just pretty fun to be up on the mountain with a fairly simple set of obligations in front of you: Keep moving. Stay alive.

Maybe it's on the edge of death we finally see what is life. Maybe some of us need that more than others. Maybe Wickwire needed that a lot more than the rest of us.

I suspect that this book was able to come to into being only because Wickwire had retired from serious climbing. I also suspect it was harder for him to write the book than to mount an expedition to climb Everest. Most of the stories have a painful aspect, and he doesn't skimp on the unflattering details. While it's not a great mountaineering book, it was certainly an interesting read. I'm glad he finally wrote it.

What every climber should face.. why am I here?.......2005-08-19

Ok, I was a climber, sort of, well I climbed some of the easy stuff near Seattle. And I realized that in order to keep the thrill of climbing up, as one gets better, you have to keep increasing the danger level. Hence the risk of injury and death keeps increasing until you decide you've had enough via an injury or your life's priorities change and your ice axe becomes a gardening tool.

Wick, well, he seemed to attract more than anyone's share of disasters and this book accounts for that. Why would anyone climb with him? Yet he keeps going and so do others continue to climb with him. It's the climbers lie, "It won't happen to me", "They made a mistake I would never make."

The other great thing about this book is that it should cause every climber to look at your personal relationships and see whether you are being fair to your other life's responsiblities. Wick did not have the same sense of priorites that I have, but then I quit climbing. It's a very personal choice and no one answer is right.

Anyway most climbing books fall into a routine, "the brave set out on a journey", "A sherpa/weak member gets hurt", "We make it/or not" and come home. "Weather was rough but we were tougher". This book looks also at the human condition of why climb at all and for that Wick should be commended for laying it all out. Like him or not, this book was probably one of the bravest things he ever did. Who among us could stand this close scrutney.

Just Awful.......2005-05-08

Instead of a testament to his climbing expeditions, this book might best serve as a testament to what seems to be Jim Wickwire's blatant misogyny and egocentrism.

After detailing how he decided his wife should leave college to support him, Wickwire regales us semi-boastfully with anecdotes relating how he expected his wife to be nothing more than a housekeeper, child-rearer, and "sex object" (his words). After insisting on a large family, and getting offended at a well-meaning priest who gently suggested birth control, Wickwire (by his own admission) proceeds to by-and-large shirk his duties as a father to all five of his children, supporting them only in the economic sense.

We then get to read his thoughts about the innate subordinism of female climbers, and their tendency toward sexual hijinks on the mountains. The brunt of Wickwire's finger-pointing rests solidly on the shoulders of the female climbers he discusses, until he falls "in love" with Marty Hoey, a talented female climber with the sense, it seems, never to have gotten seriously involved with Wickwire, despite his attempts to the contrary. Wickwire seems to read much into incidents like feet (separated by different sleeping bags) accidentally touching in a overcrowded tent. After the reader is forced to endure reading a series of desperate, petulant, and adolescent notes and conversations directed from Wickwire to Hoey, he recounts her death on Everest perfunctorily, for the most part, and in terms of how his wife forgave him for this one-sided indiscretion. All things considered, I'm not sure who should be more outraged: Mary Lou Wickwire, reading her husband's embarassing account of "falling in love" with Hoey (and knowing all her friends and peers will be reading it too), or Marty Hoey herself, to whom Wickwire attributes a number of childish and maudlin love notes, and who is no longer here to defend herself.

To be fair, Wickwire may not be the narrow-minded boor he appears to be as when, in 1985, he sadly acknowledges of the inevitable entry of women into the legal profession (one wonders what rock he was living under, or climbing over, not to know that women entered the legal profession long before then). The book, while also hampered by a ridiculous title, is full of stilted prose and dialogue. In Wickwire's world, climbers never say things like "We've gotta get down the mountain, fast." Instead, they make proclamations like, "We must descend quickly, or we shall perish upon the mountain." If they were climbing in King Arthur's time, maybe; in this day and age, no one speaks like that. As a result, the dialogue sounds stilted and fictitious, even if it had a basis in fact. The prose lingers too long, and clumsily, on Wickwire's relationships with those around him, even though his relationships seem rather shallow. Again, this may be the fault of the co-writer or the source, one never knows.

I would heartily recommend saving your money and time, and reading a more climbing-related and less self-centered and angsty text.

Honest & Riveting Account.......2004-09-18

I liked this book and found it hard to put down. I appreciated how honest Wickwire was in telling about his obsession with climbing. He didn't get defensive in retrospect and pin the blame on others when things went wrong on the climb. He openly admitted his mistakes and weaknesses, as well as his strengths. I think he realizes his self-absorption and even selfishness in undertaking such risks.

Although some will disagree, I thought the fact that he openly wrote about his feelings for fellow climber Marty Hoey was refreshing. I don't think that many climbers who become engaged in a "romantic entanglement" while on an expedition would have the guts to tell about it. Who knows though, perhaps he wouldn't have written about his relationship with Marty had she lived.

Although the guy is selfish and egotistical at times, I still came away liking him. He's human with weaknesses like the rest of us.

I only gave this book 4 stars because it's not the best mountaineering book I've read, but I do highly recommend it as one of my favorites.

Book Description

Bob Pratt has spent over eighteen years researching the Brazilian UFO phenomenon. He has made eleven visits to a number of localities in the Brazilian countryside and investigated over two hundred cases, during which time he has interviewed over seventeen hundred people. The fruits of his labor are always intriguing, sometime frightening, and should give pause to those who would thoughtlessly maintain, without studying the complete score, that all our extraterresrial visitors are friendly and have out best interest at heart.

Concise and clear, but begs big questions........2002-12-05

This book is about the UFO phenomena in Brazil. The author claims to have interviewed hundreds of witness's and abductees over the years, and this book is said to be a compilation of it.

Thankfully, the author tells you right away that this is a one sided book, and it is. The book covers the ways UFOs are terrorizing people in rural communities of Brazil.

In a nutshell, the UFO scene in brazil differs from anywhere else, in that people report being chased by ufos, emotionally terrorized by them, injured by them, being burned by thier beams of light, being levitated by them, feeling sick after thier experience, and being abducted by thier crews.

None of the people who gave testimony in this book required hypnosis to recollect thier experience, and most share the same opinion... that UFOs terrorize, and in some cases, kill people in Brazil.

That's what's in the book, on the whole, the book gets pretty repititive after the first chapter, as you fell you're reading the same stories over and over, and at the end you don't really know if you should feel more educated about the topic, or whether or not to start questioning the credibility of the author.

The big discrepancy is this: the kind of terrorizing that is described in this book, just doesn't seem to be reported anywhere else in the world, not to this extent. So the question is...

Are UFOs in brazil terrorizing people? or is the content of this book not entirely accurate?

I rate this book 2.5 stars.

An astonishing book!.......1999-08-29

Many sceptics in the USA and Europe have come up with theories intending to debunk the UFO and the alien abduction phenomena as hysterical side effects of a nutty society. Bob Pratt and his collaborator Cynthia Newby Luce are posing a great and insurmountable challenge to these sceptics. There they are, in NE Brazil, in tiny villages where no one has ever heard of Star Wars or the Grays. This is a typical "Third World" society, a place where people have a thousand priorities in their minds before dealing with "deluxe" questions such as "Are we alone in the universe?" and "Are there intelligent beings on other planets?". Yet every single extended family has experience of strange phenomena that involve UFOs (called "the fire", or "the animal" by many, a proof that this area is not exactly inhabited by trekkies and X-philes and other hi-tech minded people), and some of the most appalling abduction cases ever recorded. There are no Grays involved here, nothing similar to the much publicized cases from the USA, but instead you have humanoid abductors and hints of other dimensions. The stories related in this book are far too off, too much out of quantum physics to have been devised by those isolated and illiterate peasants with no interest whatsoever to appear on TV or to make a buck out of these stories. I have acquaintances in the cities of NE Brazil, and I have discussed this matter with them. All of them are aware of the strange UFO flaps and abductions in their area, and all of them know a relative or a friend or an acquaintance who has experienced something unworldy. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the paranormal.

Beware of the source.......1999-03-24

Bob Pratt has an axe to grind. His sponsor MUFON is no longer an independant organization and like others is controled by the Shadow Government. Interestingly enough, this expensive inquiry by an American Journalist takes place far enough from home for anyone to verify any of the alledged facts. Secret Intelligence is very fond of these weird stories they publish to (officialy) test public's gullibility when in fact they seek to accredit the idea that aliens are dangerous. This is their last ploy following the failed disinformation gambit that aliens do not exist. Until such authors expose themselves to the full scrutiny of the public, it is safe to assume that they are subsidized by self serving interests who need an ennemy to go on preparing for war.

Very Impressive.......1998-06-13

This book by author and journalist Bob Pratt gives us a good view and explanation of what hapens in the North and Northeast of Brazil. Facts presented in the book show that, if we are being visited by alien beings, they are not always good as some people think. A good field research done by this experienced Ufologist.

From the supplier: The Food and Drug Administration bears the burden for removing drugs classified as dietary supplements from the market, and ephedrine is on this list since it contains primarily herbs. As ephedrine's use as a bronchodilator increased, serious side effects became apparent. Common causes of action include negligent design, testing, or manufacture, strict liability, and misrepresentation for a deceptively advertised drug. The identification of all possible defendants is important and, since causation will be a crucial defense, counsel should try to exclude other possible causes of injury.
