What happens when today’s most brilliant writers journey to the planet’s most astonishing, forgotten, and dangerous corners?

- Post-Apocalyptic Travel: A journey into Chernobyl’s Exclusion Zone, a strange and teeming Eden where irradiated wildlife thrives in humanity’s absence.- Literary Journalism: From the scribes of Timbuktu facing down al Qaeda to the brave citizens of Sicily standing up to the Mafia, these stories uncover cultures at a crossroads.- Extreme Exploration: Descend into the world’s largest cave in Vietnam and follow in the ski tracks of Roald Amundsen across Norway’s deadly Hardangervidda plateau.- American Landscapes: An unflinching walk along the US-Mexico border, a pilgrimage to the "Holy City" of the Wichitas, and a ride on the rails with America’s freight train hoppers.
