Isolated by Mexico's deadly Copper Canyons, the blissful Tarahumara Indians have honed the ability to run hundreds of miles without rest or injury. In a riveting narrative, award-winning journalist and often-injured runner Christopher McDougall sets out to discover their secrets. In the process, he takes his readers from science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultra-runners are pushing their bodies to the limit.

The best book of the year
Revisado: 08-24-12
Could have lived without hearing his theory of evolution, which was woven throughout the book. But his personal story of running with the hidden tribe, and the characters that joined him on his journey are will worth getting past hearing his personal believes of evolution. Still this was the best written book I have heard all year. Truly, a well written piece of non-fiction that I highly recommend even through I disagree with his person theory.
This book is so compelling that it will make you want to go for 30 mile run. The book is well written, and the reader is excellent.

Brings insight into the situation in Burma
Revisado: 08-24-12
The book is tragic and sad but brings awareness to what is happening in Burma and what happens to a country under military rule. If you are interested in history and Asia, I would highly recommend this book.
The story is well written and compelling as it unravels the story of the burmese after cyclone nargis. The reading also does an excellent job.
