Gripping accounts of all known fatal mishaps in the most famous of the World's Seven Natural Wonders. 
Two veterans of decades of adventuring in Grand Canyon chronicle the first complete and comprehensive history of Canyon misadventures. These episodes span the entire era of visitation from the time of the first river exploration by John Wesley Powell and his crew of 1869 to that of tourists falling off its rims in Y2K. 
These accounts of the 550 people who have met untimely deaths in the Canyon set a new high water mark for offering the most astounding array of adventures, misadventures, and life saving lessons published between any two covers. Over the Edge promises to be the most intense yet informative book on Grand Canyon ever written.

In May of 1869, eleven men embarked on a journey of exploration and discovery. 98 days later six of them arrived 1000 miles away after navigating the Green and Colorado Rivers to the end of Grand Canyon. The journals and writings of the expedition leader, John Wesley Powell have been extensively published but here, for the first time, are the newly transcribed, unabridged journals and letters of some of the other members of the group. Author Ghiglieri has used his extensive river running experience to introduce the whole group and their exploits of courage and endurance.

MATS and Me Who is "me"? A woman who was part of the women's flight-orderly history in the Navy, beginning in 1946. Read about their adventures: the countries and cultures they saw, tasted and experienced; A page-turner, you'll wonder what can happen next. A kaleidoscope of personalities. The big and little surprises in their lives. "They" were a select group of WAVES (Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service). In post-WWII, this group served another purpose: They answered the call to replace male flight orderlies who were getting discharges from the Navy to go home at the end of WW II. --- from book's back cover
