The Huautla in Mexico is the deepest cave in the Western Hemisphere, possibly the world. Shafts reach skyscraper-depths, caverns are stadium-sized, and sudden floods can drown divers in an instant. With a two-decade obsession, William Stone and his 44-member team entered the sinkhole at Sotano de San Augustin. The first camp settled 2,328 feet below ground in a cavern where headlamps couldn't even illuminate the walls and ceiling. The second camp teetered precariously above an underground canyon where two subterranean rivers collided. But beyond that lay the unknown territory -- a flooded corridor that had blocked all previous comers, claimed a diver's life, and drove the rest of the team back. Except for William Stone and Barbara am Ende, who forged on for 18 more days, with no hope of rescue, to set the record for the deepest cave dive in the Western Hemisphere.

As pursers on a major cruise line, the authors of this book were constantly bombarded with the same questions from cruise ship passengers: Where's the nearest beach? Do I have to get a cab there? Do I have time to go shopping? Where are the best shops, anyway? Tired of repeating the same answers time after time, Laura & Diane Rapp, a mother-and-daughter team, came up with the unique idea of providing the passengers with a book answering every question they might have.
