He studied Russian history at Oxford before joining the staff at TIME\, where he worked primarily on the foreign affairs desk\, then later moved to Outside Magazine\, where he was a senior editor. His writing has appeared in National Geographic\, The New York Times and Esquire\, among other publications\, and a trio of his stories from the Himalayas\, the Horn of Africa and the Colorado River are anthologized in “The Best American Travel Writing.” \n\n\n\n\n\nFedarko\, who lives and works in Flagstaff\, Arizona\, is the author of “The Emerald Mile: The Epic Story of the Fastest Ride in History Through the Heart of the Grand Canyon\,” which recounts the true story of a small wooden dory and three river guides who in the summer of 1983 pitted her against the largest flood to sweep the Colorado River in generations with the aim of setting an unbreakable speed record. The book\, lauded as “a masterpiece of literary nonfiction” by the Oklahoman and “a work of jaw-dropping scope and page-turning action” by Southwest Books of the Year\, won the National Outdoor Book Award and the Reading the West Award\, was a finalist for a PEN Literary Sports Writing Award and the Banff Mountain Book Award and became a New York Times bestseller.
