WASHINGTON — National Geographic Adventure is celebrating its 10th anniversary with an anthology of work from the magazine called "The New Age of Adventure: 10 Years of Great Writing."
The paperback ($16.95) includes work by writers like Sebastian Junger, Peter Matthiessen and Philip Caputo. Topics include emperor penguins in Antarctica, volunteers who risk their lives to save mountain gorillas in Congo and a yearlong coming-of-age road trip through Europe and Asia.
Other pieces tell stories of an ancient ceremony conducted by an Amazonian shaman to relieve depression, reindeer herders in Russia, and running the rapids on the Colorado River on Sept. 11, 2001.
