  Wild brings together writings about men and women fighting for their lives in the wilderness, from Jon Krakauer's article on which he based his best-seller Into the Wild , to Carl R. Raswan's account of surviving raids, droughts, and sandstorms in the desert with the Bedouins. Other accounts include: Philipe Descola telling of life with an isolated tribe of headhunters; Edward Abbey on the hazards of trying to navigate the Southwest canyons; Bill Bryson describing his life-threatening adventures along the Appalachian Trail; and Sheila Nickerson on the survivors of family and friends lost to the wilderness.
