This harrowing memoir is written predominantly through the diaries kept by the men aboard the Endurance. The diaries were barely ledgible at times, according to the author, but were invaluable in terms of information. Other sources for the book were "eyewitness" accounts from the survivors of the journey, including Dr. Alexander H. Macklin. Thus, creating a very accurate and dramatic "true-life" story. Not only is the story told, but the atmosphere and emotions of the crew and their surroundings are shown, and one gets the feeling of what is was like for these men in the early 1900's adrift on ice packs and marooned on unliveable land for more than a years time. The story is well written, fast paced and tells several parts of the tale at different intervals during the book which makes it very easily followed. If you enjoy historical accounts or are fascinated with Antartica itself....this is a must-read book.

I tried many differnt ways to have it stay put and no chance. Waste of my money. I purchased it ot Bed bath and beyond and now bringing it back....

OK folks. This won't sound like a review so much as a factual report on moringa oleifera. Zija is formulated from the plant previously mentioned. This plant is knowin in over 37 countries for it's medicinal and nutritional value. The top hit on Wikipedia for it is "the tree of life".
