Sixteen Men, Seventy-Two Days, and Insurmountable Odds--the Classic Adventure of Survival in the Andes

On October 12, 1972, an Uruguayan Air Force plane carrying a team of rugby players crashed in the remote snowy peaks of the Andes. Ten weeks later, only sixteen of the forty-five passengers were found alive. This is the story of those ten weeks spent in the shelter of the plane's fuselage without food and with scarcely any hope of a rescue. The survivors protected and helped one another, and came to the difficult conclusion that to live meant doing the unimaginable. Confronting nature at its most furious, two brave young men risked their lives to hike through the mountains looking for help. A tale of astonishing bravery and adventure, Alive is much more than a survival story, it is a breathtaking saga of human courage

The P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including interviews, recommended reading, and more.

Metal bracket is cheap and bends easily
Color: White, Size: 36"W x 12"D, 1 Pack
Worst shelf I have ever purchased. Waisted my money, do not waist yours. Installed with the anchors the shelf came with and it did not hold the shelf at all. This happened with nothing on the shelf, just trying to install with the directions given. The entire metal bracket bent and now the shelf is completely useless. IKEA would have been a better option. So disappointing

Looks good.
Color: Walnut, Size: 36"W x 12"D, 2 Pack
They look nice. Easy to mount. The level is garbage…throw it away. Pretty light weight. The stability is good as long as the heavier stuff is placed close to the back of the shelf. It price is to high for this product. Take about $30 off and it would be a reasonable price for the product.

Pantry shelves
Color: Oak, Size: 48"W x 12"D, 1 Pack, Color: Oak, Size: 48"W x 12"D, 1 Pack
The shelf is ok. The drywall anchor that comes with the shelf are useless and had to purchase better EZ toggle anchors. Wish the metal bracket was longer so it could hit two studs. Thickness is good. Light shelves. Assembly is fine if you purchase your own drywall anchors, stud screw and have your own level.
