Kelly Tyler's dramatic account of Shackleton's other party, the men who were to await him on the other side of Antarctica, benefits hugely from new research. She scored big: rooting through newly opened archives; turning up long lost diaries and logs; talking to the families of the men; visiting many of the places where events transpired (she even managed a flight to the Beardmore Glacier); and, most remarkably, found actual movie footage of the expedition. From this rich source material, she fashions a riveting tale of the 10 men stranded at Cape Evans, as compelling a story as that of the Endurance.  (ANT225, $15.00)
