{"product_id":"book-hp3j","title":"Torrents As Yet Unknown","description":"Pioneering whitewater explorer Wick Walker examines what lured a generation of incredibly daring pioneers into some of Earth's most wondrous yet forbidding river canyons: below Victoria Falls on the Zambezi; the Great Bend of the Tsangpo in Tibet; Tiger Leaping Gorge on the Yangtze; the flanks of Mount Everest; and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLoaded with great moments and personal stories, Wick details what these adventurers found there, and within themselves. The extraordinary characters, driven by different motives and visions, but united by their compulsion to seek the unknown and the pulse of free-flowing water, are as remarkable as the daunting geography and conditions they confront.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhitewater sport today stands side-by-side with mountaineering in participation and public attention, yet it has lagged in generating its own literature. \u003ci\u003eTorrents As Yet Unknown\u003c\/i\u003e will help fill that gap for listeners interested in human drama played out against great natural challenges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMountaineering history is deep and its literature rich, but whitewater adventurers approach and experience the same forbidding terrain from a different vantage, between the walls of their canyons and atop powerful torrents of cascading water.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49354991108400,"sku":"BDhp3j","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49354991141168,"sku":"ZEhp3j","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49354991272240,"sku":"ZMhp3j","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/hp3j-Square-cover.jpg?v=1780375929","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-hp3j","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
