The Explorer
Hodder & Stoughton 1975 Hardback, 143pp. For many years Jimmy Duncan has explored the tangled ranges of New Zealand’s West Coast. Now he is really too old for the tough life demanded of a 19th century explorer. But those close to this solitary man know that to deny Duncan the chance of once more exploring the mountains that have swallowed his life, would be as much a death warrant as any that might be administered by avalanche, storm or flood. So Duncan is allowed to go, alone, to search for the undiscovered mountain pass. The Explorer is more than the story of an ageing man alone. It examines the relationship of man to mountain and the motives for exploration. Based on the real-life character of the great West Coast explorer, Charlie Douglas, the novel is a gripping tale of survival; authentic and ultimately full of hope. DJ. (ISBN: 9780340206232). Good.

The Last True Explorer: Into Darkest New Guinea
Godwit 2002 Paperback, 250pp. Forty years ago, a young New Zealand mountaineer headed into the unknown interior of West New Guinea (now Irian Jaya) on one of the last great journeys of exploration. Travelling at first with the legendary German mountaineer, Heinrich Harrer (author of Seven Years in Tibet), Philip Temple made the first ascent of the Carstensz Pyramide, which has come to be regarded as the technically most difficult of the 'Seven Summits of the Seven Continents'. Later he was the last to witness the tool-making rituals of a stone-age culture before it was overtaken by the modern world. Facing daunting physical odds, he went on to explore a swathe of unmapped central New Guinea Highlands, and he risked his life to recover the human remains from a US aircraft that had crashed on a sheer mountain. Copiously illustrated, Philip Temple's narrative is one of the great stories from the classical age of exploration. Dramatic, humorous and colourful, it is also a valuable anthropological record, for he tells of living among the Dani people before their primitive way of life was overtaken by the outside world. Ex Library. (ISBN: 9781869620868). Good.
