Both Jason Lewis and Erden Eruc, the men who pulled off the first human-powered circumnavigations<\/a> of the earth (Lewis with help from a partner; Eruc following up with a solo effort), have new books out. The Seed Buried Deep<\/em><\/a> is Lewis\u2019s second installment in his narrative trilogy detailing his 13-year\u2014and nearly lethal\u2014project. Eruc (ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø<\/em>\u2019s 2013 ºÚÁϳԹÏÍør of the Year) has just released Journey of a Lifetime<\/em><\/a>, a large-format photo book chronicling his multi-year \u2018round-the-world journey.<\/p>\n

Both men completed full circles around the planet using only human propulsion: no motors, no sails, no aircraft of any kind\u2014just muscle, grit, and ingenuity. Their respective voyages included rowing and pedal-boating across the oceans, and cycling, hiking, and even in-line skating across the continents. The distances are almost too massive to fathom; the endurance involved simply off the charts.<\/p>\n

Both books delve deeper into the details of their unprecedented voyages. Proceeds for Eruc\u2019s Journey of a Lifetime<\/em> will help support a pending documentary film<\/a> about his trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
