  Here the editors of Outside bring together over 30 essays that comprise writing that takes us to the remote corners of the world and into distant realms of the imagination. These true stories of wild places and extreme endeavours include Paul Theroux's revelations on the allure of islands; Alison Wright's recollections of her near-death experience in deepest Laos; Peter Maass' endurance of free-fire zones in Sudan and Somalia; Mark Hertsgaard's bicycle journey to the source of the Nile; and Kate Wheeler's account of an ancient and terrifying Bolivian ritual.
