If you're headed for action, chances are ATB (800-282- 3963, www.adventuroustraveler.com) has a book to guide you. From Backcountry Skiing in the High Sierra to Global Guide for the Scuba Diver, their catalog covers pretty much every destina tion and activity, along with maps, videos and CD ROMs. Of note: ATB has a large inventory of rare, signed and out-of-print climbing, mountaineering and polar exploration books. New York-based Longitude (800-342-21 64, www.longi tudebooks.com) specializes in creating well-rounded reading lists on specific areas-the American Museum of Natural History is a client. Naturalists and world travelers Darrel Schoeling and Daniel Kaizer (also a former book editor) comb the world for good-and often hard-to-find-books. Their "Essential Reading" lists go beyond the travel guides. For instance, the Baja California list includes John Steinbeck's The Log from the Sea of Cortez. nyou can figure the guidebook stuff out yourself, but to get a sense of the place you need to read Steinbeck, n says Schoeling. e Adventure Lifestyle Magazine NAME: ADDRESS: CITY: COUNTRY: TE L : ST: FAX: yes, I would like the following issues: D PREMIERE, $100 N/A JAN/FEB, �OLD OUT D MAR/APR, $10 D MAY/JUNE, $10 SUB-TOTAL POSTAGE COST ($1.50 PER ISSUE, 53 FOR FOREIGN ADDRESSES I TOTAL ENCLOSED FORM OF PAYMENT D CHECK ENCLOSED D PLEASE BILL MY CREDIT CARD VISA MC AMEX CARD # __________ EXP.
