New Store Stock. Signed by Author. DJ protected in a mylar sleeve. ; 1 x 9.25 x 6.25 Inches; In 1995, professional wildlife photographer Stephen Kirkpatrick joins a five-man expedition headed into the jungles of the Peruvian Amazon. Kirkpatrick's assignment is to document an area of the rain forest that has never before been photographed, or by most accounts, ever explored by white men. Within hours of their departure, a misunderstood direction, an inaccurate map, and a series of bad decisions combines to leave the group hopelessly lost in the treacherous depths of the Amazon jungle. What began as a photo expedition quickly becomes a struggle for survival. Kirkpatrick, a Peruvian videographer, an American naturalist, and their two native guides must battle ferocious wildlife, venomous reptiles, hungry bugs, torrential rains, brutal heat, and an unforgiving landscape in a desperate attempt to find their way back to civilization. Kirkpatrick soon realizes that in addition to his survival skills and physical stamina, his very faith in God is being put to the test. In the jungle, fear and doubt pose as great a danger as snakebite. Extreme Exposure is the gripping, true story of the expedition's 12-day ordeal in the perilous jungle - a frightening, dramatic, and ultimately inspirational account of the human drive to survive, and of clinging to faith in the worst circumstances imaginable. ; Signed by Author
